I hope that the Minister did not misunderstand me. I was not saying that if we were to have a referendum on this treaty and for any reason we were to reject it, that would lead to the United Kingdom leaving the European Union. When we come to the debate on the referendum, my arguments will be precisely the opposite: we would stay in the European Union, and we would be stuck in it for a very long time.
