Extract from a pamphlet entitled Your Britain Your Europe issued by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and freely available at Public Libraries.

Prime Minister Tony Blair says:
"Our membership of the European Union delivers real benefits to every region of the UK. EU funds make a vital contribution to local development through investment in environmental, education and research projects. Businesses throughout the country rely heavily on the trade and investment that the single market brings. Our EU membership provides jobs for millions of British workers and helps to guarantee the future prosperity of all areas of the UK."
