Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
A Government would say that only if they did not think that they could win such a referendum, so how can it be right for his lordship to put the case that the British people, if they were minded to vote against such a thing, should have their role entirely negated? That seems to be the essence of the argument, and surely that is wrong.
