Exterior shots of the Common Market headquarters in Brussels. Reg Harcourt talks to the former Birmingham MP Roy Jenkins about his role as President of the European Commission. The subjects include demands by Britain for the running costs of the European parliament to be cut. How Britain joining in 1973 did not receive the same benefits as the countries that were in the group and its founding and the growing dissatisfaction with the EEC in Britain despite a large vote in favour of staying in at the referendum of 1975. Jenkins is also asked his future plans when he gives up the job in nine months which are thought to include returning to Britain to set up a new party of the political centre (some shots of Jenkins have been removed from this report - now in Dudley report for 19 May 1980).
