This referendum and the previous one have shown that there is a great need for serious debate. School children should be taught more about Europe, how it works and how they can participate in it. We have a responsibility to educate our children and the general public on European affairs. Our failure to do so has resulted in the type of arguments put forward today and during the last referendum. The House should lead the debate. It should continue with it when the referendum is over to ensure that European issues remain prominent.
