Treaty will ensure we will abide by budget rules in future

It is essential that the vote on tomorrow’s referendum is based on the content of the treaty and not on the extraneous issues that have been raised during the referendum debate.

The essence of this vote is whether we are prepared to put the fiscal rules, the vast majority of which we are already bound by under current EU rules, into our laws.

It’s not about the timing of the referendum or whether we favour growth or austerity — no rational person would choose austerity if they had any real alternative!
