<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As my Rt. Hon. Friend the Home Secretary stated to Parliament
on 7 April 2014, Official Report, column 27, ‘Detailed and constructive discussions
are taking place with the European Commission and other member states. The Government
is keen to avoid the possibility of an operational gap that will ensue if we have
not settled the matter before 1 December when the UK's opt-out takes full effect.</p><p>Our
aim is therefore to reach an "in principle" deal well ahead of that date.'
As I stated to the House on 23 January 2014, Official Report, column 846, the Government
remains committed ‘to holding another vote on the final package of measures that we
will apply to rejoin.' We remain of the view that Parliament should be given the opportunity
to scrutinise this matter fully.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
