MPs to vote on call for referendum on UK leaving the EU
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/2398.jpg
Backbench MPs have agreed to hold a debate and vote on calls for a referendum to be held on whether the UK stays in the European Union.
Members of the Backbench Business Committee agreed to hold the debate on October 27 on a motion calling for a referendum by May 2013.
Tory MP David Nuttall's motion says the public should have three options put to them in the nationwide vote - keeping the status quo, leaving the EU or reforming the terms of the UK's membership of the European Union.
The government would not be bound by the result of the vote but it could prove politically tricky for David Cameron.
He has refused calls for an in/out referendum but it has been a popular idea among Tory backbenchers.

Staff at the Metropole Hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam explore the underground bunker which was discovered beneath the bar in the hotel's garden on Sept. 27.
"If these walls could talk, they would tell a lot of stories," Kai Speth, general manager of the historic Metropole Hotel in Hanoi, told the AP's Mike Ives as they toured the hotel's recently uncovered bomb shelter.
Joan Baez and Jane Fonda, amongst others, are said to have sheltered in the dingy underground bunker during the so-called Christmas Bombings that rocked parts of Vietnam's capital in December 1972.
