EU debate
Tuesday, 25 October, 2011
Despite the Government suffering the largest rebellion since their election in 2010, the bid to bring a Bill before the House and potentially grant a referendum on Britain's EU relationship was defeated in the House of Commons yesterday. The debate, which lasted for over eight hours, saw a grand total of 81 Conservative MPs (along with 30 other MPs) rebelling against David Cameron's three line whip. Richard Drax was amongst those who voted in favour of a referendum, believing that it was in the interest of the future of our country to do so.
