At the February European Council, the Government negotiated a new settlement giving the UK a special status in a reformed EU.

The Government's view is that the UK will be stronger, safer and better off remaining in a reformed EU. The UK does intend to pass domestic legislation where necessary to underpin this settlement, following a vote to remain in the EU in the referendum.
