Dear Ms Coad, 

I am the Editor of the Candidlist, which seeks to list the opinions on European integration of Parliamentary Candidates at the next election. The lists are available on the Internet and have generated much comment in the media. 

You can access the Candidlist and the media comment surrounding it by going to www.candidlist.com - you will notice that we have had over a hundred thousand visitors in the past year. 

I have been given your name as the Conservative Candidate for Slough, and so am writing to ask your answers to the following questions: 

1) If elected or re-elected to Parliament, would you oppose our joining the Eurozone even if joining were to be recommended by the Party leadership? 

2) If elected or re-elected to Parliament and required to choose between accepting the supremacy of European Union law in this country and leaving the European Union, would you vote for British withdrawal? 

I must emphasise that Candidlist does not support any political party and that its sole purpose is to enable concerned electors to make an informed choice among candidates of all the main parties. 

Before answering either of the above questions, I do strongly urge you to look at the General Introduction to Candidlist given on our web site. I also suggest that you should inspect the lists of names and some of the published correspondence. It is the practice of Candidlist to publish correspondence with candidates. Otherwise, please feel free to contact me, and I shall try to answer any question that you may have. 
 

Yours sincerely, 

Dr Sean Gabb 
Candidlist Webmaster
