  @MP voted no against requiring a referendum before any increase in the functions of the EU.
  
  The majority of MPs voted against reading the United Kingdom Parliamentary Sovereignty Bill,[1] a second time, thus preventing it from becoming law. The Bill would have required a referendum to be held for any new legislation which "increases the functions of the European Union affecting the United Kingdom."
