Prime Minister David Cameron will give his speech on Britain's relations with the European Union (EU) in London Wednesday, the government said Monday.
Cameron postponed the key speech, which he had been due to give in the Netherlands Friday, because of the Algerian hostage crisis.
Cameron is expected to spell out Britain's aims of seeking a "fresh settlement" of its relations with the EU, which could include requests for policy opt-outs and the possibility of holding a referendum in Britain after the 2015 general election.
Leaked passages from the address, published in British newspaper, have said that Cameron will urge the EU to reform. If the bloc failed to do so, there was a risk of Britain "drifting towards the exit," he is expected to say.
EU leaders, the United States, top businessmen and senior politicians in Britain - both from within the government coalition and the opposition - have warned Cameron not to risk a "gamble" over Britain's EU membership.
