The Fresh Start group of Conservative MPs launched its green paper on EU reform last week which sets out a range of options to either reform or repatriate EU policy areas. The launch was attended by Foreign Secretary William Hague. The three Conservative MPs who founded the EU Fresh Start initiative - Andrea Leadsom, Chris Heaton-Harris and George Eustice - wrote an article on Conservative Home setting out the case for “fundamental reform.” Last week, the Government also announced that it was launching an official ‘balance of competencies’ review of EU powers.
