Wreckers or Builders?

A History of Labour Members of the European Parliament 1979-99

The first-ever history of Labour’s participation in the European Parliament, packed with information on people and policies.

From the Foreword by NEIL KINNOCK:

"At last we have a history of Labour MEPs in the first twenty years of the directly elected Parliament... a well-researched record – warts and all – of the period when Labour in the European Parliament grew from 17 to 62 Members and Labour’s policy on the EU changed from withdrawal to committed support for membership and reforms... “

The book comprises four main parts providing a chronological account of each of the parliaments in this twenty-year period. Other features include a "where are they now?" section, a selection of photographs including every Labour MEP who sat in this period, a bibliography and a comprehensive index.

The author: Anita Pollack was political assistant to Barbara Castle, the leader of the Labour Group, from 1980 and then an elected MEP herself from 1989-99.
