This Bill would require that any proposal to create a fiscal union or similar eurozone-wide economic governance among eurozone member states can only proceed if approved by an Act of Parliament and by a UK public referendum, using the EU Act 2011 as the framework. It therefore emphasises domestic consent for major eurozone economic changes affecting the UK.
The Bill is at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons and has not yet progressed to committee stage or Lords consideration.
