It was back in the late 1990s that a colleague of mine informed me of the impending demise of British Standards. What nonsense I thought, as only a madman (Tony Blair) would allow our country to lose one of its best trademarks. We were still digesting the EU’s Working Time Directive (WTD) along with a myriad of other EU-forced regulation when it became clear that our British Standards were to no longer be maintained by the British Standards Institute. Despite our best efforts to resist the untold damage all these changes would mean for British businesses, our protestations fell on deaf ears. Indeed, the most common phrase from government departments was: “Nothing we can do about it, it’s the EU rules”. One wondered what on earth the point was of us maintaining our powerless politicians, as they hid behind the veil of EU protectionism. It was at this time that I started to fight back. Those early days were difficult, for a few of us it felt like everything was against us, it was ...

After the debacle of the Lisbon Treaty, which gave the EU the legal personality of a state and was rammed through without the promised referendum in Britain, I concluded that the EU was dead set on becoming a superstate and that we would be better off out. I remember a notable conversation about the issue with Matthew Elliott, who was then boss of the TaxP...

Here is the latest in our series reflecting on the Brexit process with regular BrexitCentral authors and others who have played an important role in our journey out of the European Union. Here are the answers to our questions from veteran eurosceptic Sir Bill Cash, a Conservative MP since 1984 who has chaired the House of Commons European Scrutiny Committee since 2010. BC: When did you first come to the view that the UK would be better off out of the EU? Did you ever think that the EU could be reformed from within to make membership tolerable for the UK? Tell us how your views developed over time on the issue. In 1985/86 when I was first on the European Select Committee and saw the reality of what was an undemocratic system at work. I never believed that it was possible to reform the EU from within because of the centralised legal framework requiring unanimity to change the laws. My views accelerated at the time of Maastricht and I promoted the rebellion because Maastricht create...
