Abstract

[It is often said that Edward Heath ‘was at heart an ideological European’: ‘He had been a member of Jean Monnet’s Action Committee for the United States of Europe and made his maiden Parliamentary speech on the need for a united Europe.’1 However, an in-depth look at Heath’s view of sovereignty suggests that it underwent a considerable change as the 1960s progressed. In discussing how Heath viewed monetary sovereignty, it is worth reflecting on the way he viewed sovereignty itself during negotiations over Britain’s accession to the Common Market.]
