European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
In supporting this amendment, is my noble friend comfortable with the concept of a turnout of less than 40 per cent, which is therefore null, and a no vote by a narrow majority? Bearing in mind that the Government will have instigated this referendum because they want a yes vote, if they get a no vote by a narrow majority and the House of Commons reverses it to a yes vote, is my noble friend comfortable with that idea, because that is what he is advocating?
