Proceeding contribution from Ian Jnr Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on National Referendum on the European Union.


National Referendum on the European Union

The hon. Gentleman knows that it would take at least 18 months to reach the point at which a referendum could take place. If this is not the right time, is 18 months from now the right time? As for the questions that would be asked in the referendum, that will be resolved during the negotiation period and in the Bill Committee. All the issues raised by the hon. Gentleman can easily be accommodated, and I appeal to him to change his position.
