Market matters

Sir: Mr McCall (Spectator Letters, July 5) should be made to !Realise that the reason why so little is‘fieard about the ."cultural and social aspects of our common market membership" is that the Treaty of Rome is, like all international treaties of any significance, a narrowly political document. Under the new dispensation, Mr McCall IS no freer to admire a German painting or to marry a Frenchman than when Britain was but a poor, isolated Post-colonial power.

If Mr McCall, in order to relate to foreigners and their culture, needs an international treaty, he really is in a Poor way.
