European Monetary System
Moreland lost his seat in the 1984 election, but remained interested in the European Union. He wrote to "The Times" in 1985 to urge British membership of the European Monetary System. He was appointed by the Thatcher government as a member of the UK delegation to the EU's Economic and Social Committee in 1986, and served as Chairman of the Regional Policy and Town and Country Planning Section of the Committee from 1990 to 1998.
