European Union Referendum Bill

Douglas Carswell Excerpts

Tuesday 16th June 2015 Commons Chamber

[Mike Gapes]

The free trade that Switzerland and Norway have with the European Union is dependent on their complying with rules and regulations that are determined within and by the European Union member states, over which Switzerland and Norway have absolutely no say.
