That this House urges an early referendum on membership of the European single currency; applauds the decision of former Prime Minister, James Harold Wilson in 1975 to allow parliamentarians and ministers a free vote to campaign according to their consciences which settled the question of Europe for a generation; and calls upon the Government to adopt that successful strategy and to encourage a full and open debate in Westminster and the nation.
