ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will ensure that measures are in
place to prevent the CIA or any other United States Government organisations,
or any other foreign country organisations including the institutions of the
European Union, from financing or otherwise assisting organisations or
individuals campaigning in the debate on the United Kingdom's position in the
European Union prior to any referendum being held on the subject.[HL5217]
And that in the context of today's announcement of moves towards an EU-US "Free Trade" Agreement. Not very free for the hammers or the sickles of the EU and the US. But who cares about them?

"Possibly hundreds" of Labour peers against gay marriage? Dream on, sir.
