Abstract: Mr William Cash (Stone): Will the Prime Minister explain how a European super-power would not be a European super-state?In his speech on 13 November at Mansion House, he said it was obvious to him.Will he give the British people a White Paper on the constitutional and political implications of the process towards European integration?The Prime Minister: Where nation states acting in unison can do more in common than they can alone, that, it seems to me, is the reason for the European Union.Examples of such states being able to exercise more power and strength together than alone include the current negotiations over Kyoto, world trade and areas of foreign policy where, as a result of us operating together, we are more powerful than individual nations.In other words, we are a super-power.
