Andy Burnham

Labour (Co-op) — Makerfield

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 October 2026

Debate

International Update

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman is getting way ahead of himself. There is no proposal for a referendum; there is no deal on the table. All I have said is that, as we go towards this negotiation, it makes sense to consider also our longer-term options, because it helps our European partners if they know where Britain wants to go in the future. That is all that is being said at this moment in time.
