Mark D'Arcy reports on the latest attempt by Conservative MPs to change the law so that there's a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU before the end of 2017.
Last year, the European Union (Referendum) Bill, was blocked in the House of Lords after peers decided to cut short their debate on the private members bill.
Today, the MP sponsoring the new version of the bill, a Conservative former minister, Bob Neill, told the Commons, it was time for politicians who were opposed to the idea of an in out referendum to "put up or shut up".
Tonight's programme also ventures in the world of fashion as Mark is given a behind the scenes look at the Solicitor General's wardrobe.
