1.
As you will see from Mr. Tucker minute below, the Conservative Group for Europe want to publish a pamphlet on Sovereignty. IRD have produced a first draft of this, and I should be grateful for your comments as soon as possible. I realise that we do not want to falsify the sovereignty issue or give our future Community partners the idea that we are frightened to commit ourselves in this respect. But you will also be aware of the conservative Group for Europe’s wish to play down this issue as far as possible and reassure those people in parliament and in the country who get emotional about the loss of Sovereignty.
