  The Government's position is clear in that the UK should remain in the EU, the Conservative party is split on the matter but it is for the Government to dictate policy and for the Civil Service to implement individual policies. Therefore the PM is entirely right to use the Civil Service to implement his policy which is to remain.
  
  The deal the PM has agreed with the EU is not in my opinion legally binding as Neil states. Only a full Treaty is legally binding and the Agreement can be easily picked apart by the European Court.
  
  On the Le Touquet agreement I agree it will be a matter of French policy to continue or to rip it up but if this Summer is anything like last year, Paris may well use the excuse of the UK no longer being part of the EU to say enough is enough and to end the bilateral agreement. It's always been in our interest to have our controls at Calais, the French don't really benefit from it at all.
