CENTRAL Devon MP Mel Stride is encouraging people to support a draft law underpinning an EU referendum.

James Wharton MP's EU Referendum Bill was launched last week. If successful, it will lead to the first public vote on Europe for 40 years, after a renegotiation for a new deal in the EU.

Supporters will be able to back the bill, using a co-sponsoring form as part of the http://www.LetBritainDecide.com">www.LetBritainDecide.com campaign.

Mr Stride said: 'Conservatives want to give the British people a say. That's what this innovative campaign will help us to do. If you care about giving millions of Brits a vote on Europe for the first time in 40 years, please visit http://www.LetBritainDecide.com">www.LetBritainDecide.com. Co-sponsor our Bill, and fight for change.'
