EU exit
Sir - While the group with which Conservative MEPs align themselves in the European Parliament is important, the more pressing issue surely has to be that roughly two thirds of all laws that take effect in this country come from Brussels, not Westminster.
It is very helpful that David Cameron allows backbench Conservative MPs to campaign freely for Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, as we believe that Britain would be much better off out of the EU.
Our prosperity depends on being able to trade freely with North America, the emerging markets of China and India and other Commonwealth countries; indeed, we built our wealth by being world traders. It is not in our interests to be part of an inward-facing, backward-looking protection racket designed to prop up inefficient EU farmers and businesses. Of course we want to trade freely with EU countries as well, but other successful countries have shown that you do not have to be in the EU to do this.
That is why we support the Better Off Out campaign run by the Freedom Association and the Campaign for an Independent Britain.
