Lord Bridges of Headley
My noble friend knows a lot about our nation’s history and he is absolutely right. As I said, we will furnish Parliament with the necessary information to do that. Surprisingly enough, I have the Conservative manifesto in my folder. On page 72 it says, very clearly:
“We will hold that in-out referendum before the end of 2017 and respect the outcome”.
Lord Tomlinson (Lab)
As the Minister has the manifesto with him, can he quote to us what that same manifesto said about our commitment to the European single market?
