Volume III of The Official History of Britain and the European
Community covers the divisions over Europe of the Labour Government
(1975-79) and the controversies surrounding Britain's relations
with her EEC partners under Margaret Thatcher. As the UK prepares
to leave the European Union, this book is the story of the
stresses, quarrels, compromises and ambitions which contributed to
an unhappy relationship between the United Kingdom and her European
partners. Immediately after the 1975 referendum, when the British
people voted by a large majority to stay in the European Community,
the divisions in the Labour Party over Europe, which had caused the
referendum in the first place, resurfaced as if nothing had
changed. They dogged the beleaguered Government of James Callaghan
and contributed to the defeat of the Labour Party in the General
Election of 1979. Margaret Thatcher proclaimed herself a
pro-European Prime Minister but her premiership, too, was governed
by a succession of crises in Britain's relations with her partners
as Thatcher fought to redress the unfair budget deal Britain had
been forced to accept on accession, and then to secure her vision
of a reformed, outward-looking, economically liberal Europe. This
is also the story of personal relationships between Thatcher and
the successive leaders of Germany, France and the United States. It
is told through the contemporary accounts of the period, in the
words, ideas and emotions of politicians and officials at the heart
of Government. This work will be of much interest to students of
British politics, European Union history, diplomacy and
International Relations in general.
