Britain's planned EU referendum could end up being a confidence vote on the government, and risks being affected by domestic European politics, according to a leading business group.
The Institute of Directors is warning if the vote is not held until 2017, French and German elections in that year may end up affecting it.
Prime Minister David Cameron says he can secure reform of Britain's relationship with the EU, and will then campaign to stay in the bloc in a vote by 2017.
Director General of the IOD Simon Walker says the government should hold it sooner rather than later.
