Farage: EU costs UK £45m a day

UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage has urged MPs to vote in favour of further debate on Europe.

He said Brits should be allowed to vote on whether the UK should remain part of the European Union.

Mr Farage claimed that the EU costs the country £45 million a day - which is to the detriment of the British economy, he said.

The UKIP leader was speaking at a cross-party demonstration outside Parliament, calling on Conservatives MPs to defy a three line whip and vote in favour of a referendum on Europe.
