Second British Cabinet Member Says He Would Vote to Leave the EU
Defense Secretary Philip Hammond agrees with Education Secretary Michael Gove
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has become the second cabinet minister to say he would vote for Britain to leave the EU if a referendum were held now.
But, like education secretary Michael Gove, he said David Cameron must be given a chance to bring powers back from Brussels before deciding.
Mr Hammond told BBC Radio 5live it would be "defeatist" to leave the EU without attempting reform.
Mr Cameron has pledged to hold a referendum in 2017.
