Prime Minister Supports Vote on In-Out Europe Referendum
Tomorrow, the Conservative Party will vote to give the British people their say on Europe and the Prime Minister is supporting the Private Members Bill.
Mr Cameron said, “As I made clear in my speech on Europe earlier this year, we want an In-Out referendum by the end of 2017. And tomorrow Conservative MP James Wharton will propose a Bill that would write this commitment into law.
“The European Union (Referendum) Bill has my full support – and it has support from across the Parliamentary Party: Ministers and backbenchers; Conservatives of all views. We are united behind it and together we will vote for it.
“The political picture here is a simple one. Conservatives want to give people a choice on Europe. Labour don’t, they’re refusing to back our Bill. For decades, politicians have denied the British people a voice on Europe. Tomorrow the Conservative Party will fight to give them one. And let us all be proud of that.”
The vote will take place in Parliament after the reading and debate of the Bill.
