| Conservative MPs throw down the gauntlet to David Cameron |
| 2013-01-16 |
| David Cameron must seize back control of employment and social laws from Brussels and stop European nationals from claiming benefits in this country, dozens of Conservative MPs will demand. A report backed by William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, will warn that "the status quo is no longer an option" and demand "a new and different relationship" with the European Union. The Fresh Start group of Conservative backbenchers will throw down the gauntlet to the Prime Minister two days before he delivers a speech on EU membership, as it sets out proposals to return responsibility for laws to Westminster and cut Britain's bill for EU membership by billions of pounds a year. |
