The legislation for a referendum by the end of 2017 passed through the lower chamber of the British parliament on Friday despite efforts by opposition Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats to delay its passage.

The bill will now move to the House of Lords for its first reading.

“We are a significant step closer to letting people deicide – to let Britain decide – on our future in the European Union,” said James Wharton, the Conservative MP behind the bill.

The bill has been strongly supported by British Prime Minister and Tory leader David Cameron.

British Deputy PM Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband, however, have repeatedly warned over plans to hold an in/out referendum, saying they are wrong and damaging to the UK’s national interests.

“This bill is a disgrace. It should not be supported. I hope the House of Lords will do justice to it and amend it significantly,” said Mike Gapes, a Labour MP.

Gape’s remarks follow earlier comments by Former British Prime Minister Sir John Major that Britain will pay a “severe price” should it decide to leave the 28-nation-bloc.

Major said the UK’s departure from the EU could cost Britain billions of pounds, and would leave the country internationally isolated.

Cameron made the referendum pledge under pressure from his party’s anti-EU backbenchers. He vowed to stage a referendum on Britain’s continued membership in the EU in 2017 if his party remains in power after the 2015 general election.
