European Union Referendum Bill

Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 September 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Referendum Bill.

With respect, I think that this is legalistic claptrap. I do not remember the Prime Minister being particularly constrained in arguing his case during the general election. What is important is that the process is considered to be fair. Why can we not just cut to the chase and accept amendment 4, which was tabled by the Opposition, under which we would have full purdah and do what we do in general elections, so that everybody thinks it is fair?
