Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.
Localism Bill
The example that the hon. Gentleman gives seems to be covered already by subsection (2) of his amendment, which says that a referendum can take place only if relates to one of the four examples given in paragraphs (a) to (d). It seems to me that his answer falls at an earlier hurdle—his own amendment. I ask him again whether he can give three examples of situations in which he thinks the Secretary of State should say that the result of a referendum is not binding.
