Britain into Europe (1976) examines how the debate in Britain about EEC membership was conducted between 1961 and 1975. Using survey research data from Social and Community Planning Research it shows how public opinion on this critical issue developed over fifteen years. Roger Jowell and Gerald Hoinville describe the background to the decision to apply; James Spence traces the movements in public mood; Barry Hedges looks at the final four years; Dipak Nandy analyses the role of the media; Martin Collins examines the vote itself; Andrew Duff considers the constitutional implications of the referendum.
