Prime Minister David Cameron said on Wednesday he would guide “very strongly against” Britain seeking to adopt a Norwegian-style relationship with the EU if it votes to leave the bloc at a referendum due by the end of 2017.
Reolying to a question in Parliament, Mr Cameron warned against copying Norway, which is not an EU member but has access to the bloc’s single market.
“Some people arguing for Britain to leave the European Union... have particularly pointed to the position of Norway saying that is a good outcome. I would guide very strongly against that,” he said.
“Norway actually pays as much per head to the EU as we do, they actually take twice as many per head migrants as we do in this country, but of course they have no seat at the table, no ability to negotiate.”
