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.

As I understand the argument, it relates to section 125 of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 and the definition of “material”. That is what that section says. It would not be sensible for any Government to find themselves constrained from explaining to the people the Government’s view, because the people are entitled to hear from the Government of the day, as happened in 1975.
