| | "A Pro-European Policy for Conservatives" - by Rt Hon Sir Leon Brittan QC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | Full support for Britain's membership of the European Union is an honest and honourable political doctrine for a Tory It is not based on faulty logic or emotionalism, but a cold calculation of British interests. |
 | | We must have the courage to say, to ourselves and to others, that our sense of identity is not dependent on outdated concepts of national sovereignty, but on the clear perception that we have more to gain, and to contribute, from Europe at its core, than at its periphery. |
 | | The Tory Reform Group 1999 International Lecture, "A Pro-European Policy for Conservatives" was delivered by Sir Leon Brittan QC on Wednesday 21st July 1999 in Committee Room 12, The House of Commons. |
