You don't seem to have any problem making it up!
Before the 1975 referendum new terms were agreed and the House of Commons voted 396 to 170 to continue within the Common Market on the new terms. Then as now there is no need for a parliamentary vote for the status que, it’s already been through the parliamentary process.
