Call for 'negotiation brief' referendum

Conservative leader David Cameron has announced his party will not allow any further powers to be passed to Brussels without referendum on Europe policy and will aim to return some powers in social and employment law, and criminal justice. Mr Cameron claimed the approach "settled" Tory policy on Europe for the next parliament.

Conservative peer Lord Tebbit told Today presenter Sarah Montague he thought a referendum would still be needed on Cameron's "negotiating brief" to overcome EU scepticism.
