DON Briggs and I are not very far apart with our opinions on Europe.

The difference is that he wants us to leave it.

I want to see the organisation improve.

My point is that in 1973 we entered what was known as the Common Market or, more correctly, the European Economic Community.

It was not and was never intended to be a European Free Trade Area.

After all, EFTA had proved to be less than we needed. It was this point that I wished to stress in my earlier letter. The way things have developed is for concern.

We need referenda on both currency and proposals for a constitution.
