I am grateful to my right hon. Friend. Does she recall that in the closing part of Mrs. Thatcher's Government, when Britain was promoting a single market under the so-called ““Are EU Ready?”” campaign, £25 million of Government money was spent on information to put across a true message about Europe? Does she also recall that when she and I were in government, my budget was cut to £200,000 and that when I came to a distinguished Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and asked for a little more money to help, I was, alas, sent away empty handed?
