E-mail Dated Tuesday the 10th October 2000,
Dear Dr Gabb My attention was drawn to your interesting site some time ago but, as my name was not on it, although I have been on the Conservative's approved list for about a year, I did not think it important to let you know where I stand. However, I've been told that more & more people are now accessing the site to establish where we candidates (I have not yet been selected) stand on Europe. I would like to confirm that I am a "Eurosceptic", although I do not particularly like the rather rude categorisation of 'sceptic and 'phile, and certainly oppose the ceding of any more power to Brussels. I am also quite happy to be described as being: "Generally opposed to further EU integration and committed to saving the Pound". Yours sincerely, Peter Horsburgh Sean Gabb to Peter Horsburgh Dear Mr Horsburgh, Many thanks for your recent e-mail. Before I can classify you as a sceptic, I must enquire whether we define the word in the same way. Therefore, I look forward to your comments on the following: 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? Yours sincerely, Sean Gabb
Peter Horsburgh to Sean Gabb Dear Dr Gabb In reply: 1) Yes
