March monthly update – Europe
With the forthcoming referendum, the debate over UK membership of the European Union is assuming greater prominence , and is highly relevant to London and to our work at City Hall.
In 1975, as a young student, I voted for UK withdrawal from the EU. But times have moved on, and the world is a very different place now. I support our continued EU membership. For some of the reasons , see my letter to the local press; an article I wrote last month; and my recent exchanges with the Mayor.
At our last MQT, I challenged the Mayor over his Chief of Staff’s edict to ban the Mayor’s senior staff from opposing the Mayor’s position on the referendum.
