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.

First, I set out earlier the changes we would wish to see, but change is not just a function of one particular moment in time. Secondly, there has been a general election and there is now going to be a referendum. As we argued consistently, uncertainty about Britain’s place in Europe is not good for the British economy, so we should get on and make this decision so that the British people can have their say, and I hope they will reach a decision to remain in the European Union.
