European Union Referendum Bill

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

I just wanted to finish off this interesting discussion about what MPs can do. It is complete nonsense that MPs could not join in a referendum. We all know that MPs join in referendum campaigns, and in local election and by-election campaigns, and that they do so as politicians. They are, quite rightly, not allowed any MP expenses—they must not abuse this place—but, as politicians, they can intervene, under the existing law.
