Members of Parliament are scheduled to debate a UK application to join the European Union on Monday, October 12th, with a government minister responding on behalf of the administration. It will not be a binding vote, but supporters of closer EU ties see it as the first chance since Andy Burnham's speech about policy options to gauge where MPs actually stand on rejoining the bloc.

Why now: It is the first parliamentary test of pro-EU sentiment since Burnham's 'options' speech, showing whether rejoining has real support among MPs.
