Catalogue Note
The present work relates to a review made by Prime Minister Edward Heath (featured on the left of the centre trio) of European policy at a special meeting held at Chequers in May 1975. In attendance were Christopher Soames (right), then British Ambassador in Paris and Geoffrey Rippon (centre), Britain’s chief negotiator at talks in Brussels, with Enoch Powell and Peter Shaw visible aboard the boats in the background, and reflects the predominantly hostile opinion at the time in Britain towards British membership of the Common market.
