European Union Referendum Bill

Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Referendum Bill.

My hon. Friend is entirely right. There are lots of people who have changed their minds on Europe. I remind the House that as recently as June 2012 the Prime Minister told a press conference in Brussels:

“I completely understand why some people want an in/out referendum. . . I don’t share that view. That is not the right thing to do.”
