Sir.-Thank you to the many people of Basingstoke who, on Saturday morning, signed our petition for a referendum on the European Constitution.
Our call for the British public to have the chance to have their say on their future in Europe certainly resonated with more than 250 people at the Top of the Town.
They do not want to be steam-rollered into any new constitutional arrangements with the EU without their say-so.
Those who missed the opportunity can still sign the online petition at www.putittothepeople .com
-Therese Coffey, Candidate for the European Parliament for the South East Region (Conservative Party).
