Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
I shall come to that point. It requires clarity in the Bill, as far as possible, on the circumstances in which a referendum would or would not be held. That is the safeguard against what my right hon. Friend the Member for Wokingham (Mr Redwood) is complaining about in relation to rights that have been given away in the past. It would have been good to have a referendum on those. The Bill is about the future—let us be clear about that—and we have to make it as clear as possible.
