EU membership - has Parliament buried the "smoking gun" letter from 1960?

Albert Burgess’s second piece here on Broad Oak included a photocopy of a crucial letter from the Lord Chancellor to Edward Heath in 1960. Heath had been made Lord Privy Seal by the then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and was tasked with negotiating the UK’s entry into what was then known as the Common Market. When he himself became Prime Minister, Heath finally took us in. The importance of the letter is that it shows that Heath had been told of the constitutional implications almost a dozen years before.

As the copy I received was a little faint, I looked for another and found an edited-down transcript at www.freebritain.org.uk/articles (see first link above), listed as “Heath’s Lie That There Would Be No Loss of Sovereignty“.  It ended with a URL link to the House of Commons library website.

Trouble is, it’s gone.

So I’ve emailed Parliament’s webmaster as follows:
