:00:26. > :00:28.should leave the EU could be held as early as this summer.

:00:42. > :00:44.an agreement was reached at the summit in February.
:00:45. > :00:48.What I would like to see is a deal in February and then a referendum

:01:19. > :01:22.thing was not just about how confident he seem to be about
:01:23. > :01:28.getting a deal, but how quickly he could get that deal, despite all the
:01:29. > :01:32.well-publicised problems he has had. What was interesting was that whilst
:01:33. > :01:36.he kept that proviso that he is not ruling anything out if he does not
:01:37. > :01:41.get a deal, both his body language and the actual interview was very
:01:42. > :01:46.positive. He used phrases like the best answer for Britain is to
:01:47. > :01:49.continue membership in a reformed EU. He said the reason he announced
:01:50. > :01:53.government ministers could campaign on either side of the debate was
:01:54. > :01:57.because he felt he was close to getting a deal. He made it clear
:01:58. > :02:02.that if he was on the losing side, he made it clear he would stay on as
:02:03. > :02:06.Prime Minister. He wants the vote week about EU membership, not his
:02:07. > :02:12.leadership, because there are big divisions in the Conservative Party.
