Enoch Powell and Roy Jenkins Clash Over Europe in Heated Referendum Debate (1975)
On 4 June 1975, the day before the British public voted in a referendum on UK membership of the European Economic Community (EEC), ITN’s Robert Kee chaired a special debate between Roy Jenkins and Enoch Powell. Jenkins, as home secretary in Harold Wilson’s Labour government, was a staunch advocate of continued British membership of the EEC, while Ulster Unionist MP Enoch Powell was making the case for Britain to leave. In an energetic and sometimes heated debate, Jenkins and Powell clashed over their competing visions of Britain’s future.
