1. SOUNDBITE (English) David Cameron, British Prime Minister:
STORYLINE:
A referendum on whether Britain should stay in the European Union will be held on 23 June, Prime Minister David Cameron announced on Saturday.
Cameron went on to declare his belief that the UK would be "safer and stronger" if it remained in the 28-nation bloc in a statement outside 10 Downing Street.
Earlier, Cameron held a rare Saturday Cabinet meeting and won its agreement to recommend that Britain remain part of the EU rather than strike out on its own.
Despite that support, some Cabinet figures are expected to back the "leave" campaign that wants Britain to carve its own path outside of the bureaucracy in Brussels.
Cameron said if Britons decided to remain in the EU, he would seek continued reforms to address their concerns about job losses and benefit payments to EU migrants seeking work in Britain.
The Prime Minister emphasised that Britain can have "the best of both worlds" if it remains in the EU under a reform deal reached Friday night with EU leaders.
The deal agreed by EU leaders protects Britain from taking part in an "ever closer union" with European nations and makes clear that Britain will not adopt the euro currency shared by 19 EU nations.
