European Union (Referendum) Bill — Second Reading — 5 Jul 2013 at 14:00
Stephen Hepburn MP, Jarrow did not vote.
The majority of MPs voted in favour of holding a referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union before the end of 2017.
The referendum question included in the bill is:
- "Do you think that the United Kingdom should be a member of the European Union?"
The vote was on the second reading of the European Union (Referendum) Bill[1]. The bill requires a referendum to take place and includes arrangements for it, a vote in favour of a second reading can be seen as support for the general principle of the bill (opportunities to amend the details follow). The motion MPs technically voted on was:
"That the Bill be now read a Second time"
