:00:00. > :00:08.Or what he says, or what he did or did not negotiate in Brussels.

:00:09. > :00:11.And it's not about him. Or them.

:00:12. > :00:14.No, this is now all about you, and your country.

:00:15. > :00:34.The clock is counting down towards the country's

:00:35. > :00:43.There's 121 days, 10 hours and 30 minutes to go.

:00:44. > :00:46.On Thursday June 23rd anyone over 18 who's living here and is a British,

:00:47. > :00:51.Irish or Commonwealth citizen, will have a vote in a referendum

:00:52. > :00:54.on whether we should be in or out of the European Union -

:00:55. > :00:59.whether we should stay or go - remain or leave.

:01:00. > :01:02."Remain" or "Leave" are the words which will appear

:01:03. > :01:10.Tonight, the debate begins in the country,

:01:11. > :01:13.so in this special programme we will debate three key issues -

:01:14. > :01:16.immigration, jobs and sovereignty - with those who've already made

:01:17. > :01:20.up their mind, to help you if you've yet to make up yours.

:01:21. > :01:22.Arguing for out - Ukip leader Nigel Farage,

:01:23. > :01:25.city chief executive Helena Morrissey,

:01:26. > :01:28.and Tory Cabinet Minister Chris Grayling.

:01:29. > :01:31.Ranged against them - arguing that the UK should stay in -

:01:32. > :01:34.another Conservative Cabinet Minister, Anna Soubry,

:01:35. > :01:44.and former Labour Home Secretary, Alan Johnson.

:01:45. > :01:47.Our first - perhaps the most contentious subject - immigration.

:01:48. > :01:50.By being in the EU, any British citizen can get a job or settle

:01:51. > :01:54.in the other 27 countries in Europe and, of course,

:01:55. > :02:00.Lucy Manning looks at how freedom of movement has affected

:02:01. > :02:06.one British city - Leicester.

:02:07. > :02:09.It's been named Britain's most diverse road, and the flow

:02:10. > :02:13.of workers allowed to come to the UK has made its mark.

:02:14. > :02:16.EU immigration is one of the key issues, and it's something that has

:02:17. > :02:22.Narborough Road gives you a sense of how this is now a city

:02:23. > :02:25.where the majority of people were either born abroad

:02:26. > :02:29.or are from families who came from abroad.

:02:30. > :02:33.The shops here are run by people from across the world,

:02:34. > :02:37.but it's the Polish ones that have started springing up.

:02:38. > :02:40.Michael owns a shop on this road, one of the many Poles attracted

:02:41. > :02:45.So, what do you think you have contributed to Leicester?

:02:46. > :02:47.I opened a business, so maybe in the future

:02:48. > :02:54.Benefits, you get? No.

:02:55. > :02:57.Do you think Polish immigration is good for the UK?

:02:58. > :03:00.If they can find the work, and they work and not claim

:03:01. > :03:09.Where Leicester's immigration was from Southeast Asia

:03:10. > :03:14.and East Africa, now it's largely from Europe.

:03:15. > :03:17.The last census found the number of Poles here had increased by more

:03:18. > :03:20.than 1000%, and last year, more than 7000 EU workers

:03:21. > :03:27.Some of them are even part of top of the table Leicester City.

:03:28. > :03:30.A squad with an English core also has five players

:03:31. > :03:34.from the European Union, including Denmark, Germany and Poland.

:03:35. > :03:37.If it works well for the football team, does it work for the rest

:03:38. > :03:42.We need to get out of Europe, if you ask me.

:03:43. > :03:44.You want to go out of Europe? Yeah.

:03:45. > :03:47.Because then people can't just walk in.

:03:48. > :03:49.The door is not just freely open to anyone.

:03:50. > :03:51.Everybody should be able to come and work for a living,

:03:52. > :03:55.That's what we are about, really, the UK, welcoming everybody.

:03:56. > :03:59.It's definitely affecting the schools.

:04:00. > :04:01.People are saying it's because of immigration.

:04:02. > :04:04.So maybe it feels like there are too many people coming to Leicester

:04:05. > :04:07.That's the short and small of it, I think, yeah.

:04:08. > :04:10.At St Patrick's School, nearly 100 extra pupils has

:04:11. > :04:16.The number of families who have come from the EU has greatly increased

:04:17. > :04:54.If the borders were to close, it would have a huge impact

:04:55. > :04:59.We would struggle to fill the roles we currently have if we just had

:05:00. > :05:05.So, with the number of EU workers rising and rising,

:05:06. > :05:11.would it help or harm Britain to say it's now too much?

:05:12. > :05:13.Conservative Business Minister Anna Soubry wants the UK

:05:14. > :05:24.Nigel Farage is the leader of Ukip - no need to say what side he's on!

:05:25. > :05:36.I will ask you both do something in unusual, admit the problems with the

:05:37. > :05:40.arguments. There might be lots of good reasons for staying in the EU,

:05:41. > :05:40.but you can't actually control immigration

:05:41. > :05:47.but you can't actually control because effectively the borders are

:05:48. > :05:50.but you can't actually control countries. I don't think that is

:05:51. > :05:54.actually accurate. We still have border checks. I came back from

:05:55. > :05:59.Brussels just last Monday. Like everybody else, my passport was

:06:00. > :06:03.looked at. One of the joys about the membership of the European Union is

:06:04. > :06:07.that when it comes to things like the exchange of data and information

:06:08. > :06:12.to keep our country safer, because we are in the EU and have those

:06:13. > :06:16.arrangements, we are safer by being a member. I asked you to be honest.

:06:17. > :06:22.Anybody from the EU, who wants to come in here and get a job can. Yes.

:06:23. > :06:25.And it also means that anybody who lives here and is British can go

:06:26. > :06:33.over there. And 1.3 million people have done that. Nigel Farage, can

:06:34. > :06:39.you be honest, if you had controls, could you want, and you could have

:06:40. > :06:41.by leaving EU, they would come at a cost. All the other countries

:06:42. > :06:46.currently trading with EU and the single market have to have some form

:06:47. > :06:50.of free movement of people as well. No, you are talking about Norway and

:06:51. > :06:55.Switzerland who are closely integrated with the European market.

:06:56. > :06:57.All over the world countries and markets sell goods to the European

:06:58. > :07:02.Union without the need for free movement of people. The problem is

:07:03. > :07:07.simple, this is my British passport. We all have one of these. The first

:07:08. > :07:13.two words on it, European Union. That passport is now held by 500

:07:14. > :07:17.million people. We are not able to choose the numbers that come or the

:07:18. > :07:22.type of people who come. Immigration can be good, but we shouldn't have

:07:23. > :07:31.an open door to huge knob is of unskilled workers. America and all

:07:32. > :07:35.sorts of countries, that doesn't also have to have some sort of deal

:07:36. > :07:44.about having a free movement of people. I don't ... I want Britain

:07:45. > :07:50.to leave the European Union, stand on our own two feet and still trade.

:07:51. > :07:54.You can have had free trade deal without being part of a political

:07:55. > :07:58.union. You realise what this means, it means we will not trade as freely

:07:59. > :08:03.as we do now with a market of 500 million people. Our exports will be

:08:04. > :08:09.so much more difficult. What that means is that as a nation we will be

:08:10. > :08:16.poorer for it. We are the biggest market in the world. Cars, wine and

:08:17. > :08:21.cheese, we need us more than we need them. Just a spell this out for

:08:22. > :08:25.people, because they often hear this argument made, America trades with

:08:26. > :08:30.Europe, Canada trades with Europe, what would be different if we were

:08:31. > :08:35.to come out of the EU about our relationship that worries you? How

:08:36. > :08:40.long and what would it look like? It would take at least two years to

:08:41. > :08:43.come out and it would be chaos will stop the pound has already fallen

:08:44. > :08:49.today, and the credit rating with change. Suddenly there would be

:08:50. > :08:52.nobody coming to work here if we leave, anybody who believes that is

:08:53. > :08:58.being misled. People are worried about immigration. It's a price

:08:59. > :09:02.worth paying for them. Yes, the borders are more open, but it's a

:09:03. > :09:05.price worth paying. When we say it's a price worth paying, what we talk

:09:06. > :09:08.about is when we don't do it properly. It's the schoolteacher who

:09:09. > :09:16.doesn't have the resources or classes. In Hireme, immigration has

:09:17. > :09:20.been good for our country. -- inherently. We can't plan for

:09:21. > :09:25.schools or hospitals because of the open door we have no idea how me

:09:26. > :09:29.people will turn up. For all the people coming here, there are people

:09:30. > :09:33.who go there. Almost one and a quarter million Brits who live out

:09:34. > :09:37.there. Surely if you tear up that passport in the way you want to, you

:09:38. > :09:40.are effectively saying to the British or go to Spain and Germany

:09:41. > :09:45.and France, you probably won't be able to do that. Before we joined

:09:46. > :09:49.the European Union lots of British people were retiring to Spain and

:09:50. > :09:52.Germany and Brittany, where ever it may be. Nearly a million Brits are

:09:53. > :09:55.living in Spain and spending their money and without any Spanish

:09:56. > :09:58.economy would collapse. You are saying that we could close our doors

:09:59. > :10:04.but somehow they couldn't close theirs? We wouldn't close anything

:10:05. > :10:08.retrospectively. People who have moved around legally, on an ongoing

:10:09. > :10:13.basis, Brits would be welcomed in Spain and France because they spend

:10:14. > :10:15.money. Painfully short, but there will be lots of time to discuss over

:10:16. > :10:16.the coming months. Next, would we be richer or poorer

:10:17. > :10:19.in or out of this club Membership of the EU doesn't only

:10:20. > :10:23.allow all its citizens It also allows freedom

:10:24. > :10:26.of movement for goods, In other words, the ability

:10:27. > :10:30.to sell things, to trade, to do business freely

:10:31. > :10:32.across the EU's borders without having to pay

:10:33. > :10:35.tariffs or taxes or conform Allan Little has been to a European

:10:36. > :10:39.country that has chosen to stay out He visited from neighbouring Sweden,

:10:40. > :10:46.which is in the EU. The water is the border

:10:47. > :10:49.between Sweden and Norway - But you can drive straight across it

:10:50. > :10:56.without even noticing. When you cross this bridge,

:10:57. > :10:58.you are leaving the EU, but you don't have to

:10:59. > :11:01.show your passport here. In fact, there is no-one

:11:02. > :11:03.to show your passport to, Norway may not be in the EU,

:11:04. > :11:11.but it is part of the Schengen Area, which means that anyone from the EU

:11:12. > :11:17.can come and live and work here. 16% of Norway's population

:11:18. > :11:20.are migrants, and they are entitled to the same welfare

:11:21. > :11:26.benefits as Norwegians. Norwegians rejected EU membership

:11:27. > :11:32.in referendums in 1972 and 1994. We had a lot of scaremongering

:11:33. > :11:38.about losing jobs. They said we would lose 100,000 jobs

:11:39. > :11:44.by standing outside the EU, but every single day since has

:11:45. > :11:49.shown this was false. Nothing expresses Norway's

:11:50. > :11:53.independent character more eloquently than its

:11:54. > :11:56.relationship with the sea. Norwegians have sought

:11:57. > :11:58.to protect their fisheries But staying out of the EU means this

:11:59. > :12:08.salmon processing company has to pay a tariff to sell its

:12:09. > :12:14.products in EU countries. You have tariffs on smoked salmon,

:12:15. > :12:16.that's the only thing. It's owner thinks that's

:12:17. > :12:20.a price worth paying. I have been very constant

:12:21. > :12:23.in my belief that I think It's like saying, you know

:12:24. > :12:29.what you have, but you don't know But the world is

:12:30. > :12:34.changing around Norway. Despite its global reputation

:12:35. > :12:40.for quality and efficiency, Norway is facing growing

:12:41. > :12:44.competition from Poland. Similar fish products can be

:12:45. > :12:46.made there more cheaply, Here at Norway's Parliament,

:12:47. > :12:54.the political elites, unlike the people, have tended

:12:55. > :12:57.to favour EU membership. Most of the laws and directives

:12:58. > :13:01.and regulations issued by Brussels get ratified by this

:13:02. > :13:03.parliament anyway. Norway has to fall in line with EU

:13:04. > :13:06.law, even though it's not allowed Politicians here call that

:13:07. > :13:12.integration without representation. One foreign policy analyst

:13:13. > :13:16.told me that every chicken, pig and fish in Norway

:13:17. > :13:19.is a member of the EU, We are closely integrated

:13:20. > :13:25.into the market, but we have lost part of the sovereignty

:13:26. > :13:29.of deciding on the rules Would it be advantageous

:13:30. > :13:33.to Norway to be a member, I believe that, but I'm

:13:34. > :13:39.in a minority today. Norway may have stayed out,

:13:40. > :13:42.but the EU has exerted its gravitational pull here,

:13:43. > :13:45.and drawn this country into the orbit of European

:13:46. > :13:54.integration all the same. Jurgen Maier is the CEO of Siemens

:13:55. > :13:57.UK and thinks Brexit They employ 14,000 people in this

:13:58. > :14:05.country. Helena Morrissey, who runs the fund

:14:06. > :14:08.manager Newton Investment Management

:14:09. > :14:20.disagrees. The same challenge, to be open about

:14:21. > :14:22.the downsides. Doesn't Norway, and other examples illustrate the fact

:14:23. > :14:26.that you can't have your cake and eat it. If you want the full

:14:27. > :14:30.benefits of trading in Europe, with all those barriers down, you end up

:14:31. > :14:32.having to pay the price, either in money or by having an immigration

:14:33. > :14:47.policy you might not like. No, I think we can negotiate a good

:14:48. > :14:52.situation, we can access the single market if we decide to leave. Those

:14:53. > :14:57.two are not one and the same. How long did it take for the Canadians

:14:58. > :15:05.to develop a free trade deal? We will not be the same as Canada.

:15:06. > :15:09.Seven years, it was. We will have two years to start negotiating.

:15:10. > :15:14.Brexit will be the start of a process, not an event in itself. You

:15:15. > :15:33.manage vast sums in the city, why would you take a risk at a

:15:34. > :15:38.time the global economy is not very stable and say, we may get a better

:15:39. > :15:41.deal, we're not sure, it may take two years or it may take seven, why

:15:42. > :15:43.do that? We used to be called the sick man of Europe. Europe's

:15:44. > :15:45.economic malaise is self-inflicted. They do not have a good vibrant

:15:46. > :15:50.approach. I think as a global economy we would be better off

:15:51. > :15:54.seeking our place on the global stage. Juergen Maier, you have been

:15:55. > :15:59.part of the sick man of Europe, now you are an Austrian by birth, you

:16:00. > :16:04.run a German company, basically the European economy is a mess, why

:16:05. > :16:10.would we want to tie ourselves to a corpse? It is not true that it is a

:16:11. > :16:13.total mass. The whole of the global economy has been struggling

:16:14. > :16:21.somewhat. But we only tend to hear the bad news. The last two years,

:16:22. > :16:23.the European economy has started growing again. Spain last year grew

:16:24. > :16:28.faster than the British economy did. And just remember that 44% of our

:16:29. > :16:32.trade is done with the European economy. Why would we want to cut

:16:33. > :16:37.that off? That there are lots of successful economies which are not

:16:38. > :16:44.part of the EU, we just saw one, Norway. Why not be honest and say we

:16:45. > :16:48.would thrive perfectly well outside? Norway is Norway and Britain is

:16:49. > :16:54.quite different. I actually remember coming to the UK in 1974, when we

:16:55. > :16:59.were the sick man of Europe, and look at the progress this country

:17:00. > :17:07.has made in the last four decades as part of Europe. In your own case,

:17:08. > :17:11.the example of Siemens, 14,000 people employed, are you saying

:17:12. > :17:18.there is jobs would go if Britain left the EU? I have never said the

:17:19. > :17:23.jobs would all go. What I am saying is, how can we create many more

:17:24. > :17:30.jobs? We can create more jobs by being in Europe, have influence with

:17:31. > :17:33.Europe. Essentially, life would go one, we would trade? We would

:17:34. > :17:39.thrive. We have partnerships with the rest of the world. You have good

:17:40. > :17:45.presence in Norway, for example. Our success in Britain is not dependent

:17:46. > :17:49.on our membership of the EU. We are big manufacturer here in the UK at

:17:50. > :17:54.Siemens, and we would not be able to thrive outside of the EU. We would

:17:55. > :18:00.do OK. Does that mean when he decided to invest in a new factory

:18:01. > :18:06.making wind turbines or magnets for hospitals, you would say, not here,

:18:07. > :18:13.somewhere else? Let me give you a specific example. We at Siemens and

:18:14. > :18:17.other small engineering companies see a future in driverless cars. We

:18:18. > :18:22.can either get inside and help influence, create the best chance

:18:23. > :18:27.for British industry, all we can sit on the margins and we can hope that

:18:28. > :18:32.Brussels will look after us and that sounds pretty naive to me. And yet

:18:33. > :18:38.he makes things, he sells things, you move money around. Isn't the

:18:39. > :18:41.truth that people like you are against the EU is because Brussels

:18:42. > :18:47.came for the hedge fund is and the boys and girls in the City of London

:18:48. > :18:51.and you don't like it? We would still have to subscribe to

:18:52. > :18:55.regulation if we left the EU. It is a poor argument to say with friends

:18:56. > :19:00.like that, who needs enemies. I think we should be working on a

:19:01. > :19:04.positive future. I think Europe has a huge number of problems. It would

:19:05. > :19:09.be great if we saw fundamental reform. Youth unemployment is still

:19:10. > :19:13.huge in Spain, Italy and Greece. That is a tragedy and we are not

:19:14. > :19:34.seeing it addressed. I think Britain can go it global. We have to

:19:35. > :19:38.leave it there but one sentence? This is the point, there will be

:19:39. > :19:41.regulation if we are in or out, so why do it? Thank you, both of you.

:19:42. > :19:44.Perhaps the main reason the question of our relationship with Europe has

:19:45. > :19:47.been so controversial for so many years, is that it raises fundamental

:19:48. > :19:51.Do we have less sovereignty - less control over our own lives -

:19:52. > :19:54.by being in a big European club in which we can be outvoted?

:19:55. > :19:58.Or do we have more influence - more power to shape the world -

:19:59. > :20:00.because we are part of something much bigger than these islands?

:20:01. > :20:03.In a moment, Alan Johnson and Chris Grayling will debate

:20:04. > :20:05.the question of sovereignty but first, James Landale explains

:20:06. > :20:07.how power is divided between the UK government and parliament

:20:08. > :20:14.in Westminster and Brussels - the city where the EU is run from.

:20:15. > :20:15.We live in a parliamentary democracy.

:20:16. > :20:17.That means we get to choose the parliaments

:20:18. > :20:19.that make decisions on our behalf here at Westminster.

:20:20. > :20:22.But more than 40 years ago, Parliament decided to give up

:20:23. > :20:26.It chose to pool some power with other countries,

:20:27. > :20:29.in what was then called the European Community.

:20:30. > :20:32.And some say that was the right decision.

:20:33. > :20:36.There is a sacrifice of sovereignty, in that our Parliament can't

:20:37. > :20:40.overturn laws made say about the environment,

:20:41. > :20:44.once they are made at European level, but the original decision

:20:45. > :20:46.to go in, was to share some of our sovereignty,

:20:47. > :20:51.There are things that we can do collectively,

:20:52. > :20:58.So where does power lie in the European Union,

:20:59. > :21:03.and what say does Britain have?

:21:04. > :21:05.Well, much of the power that has been pulled together

:21:06. > :21:08.lies with the European Commission, the executive arm

:21:09. > :21:13.Every country, including Britain, has one commissioner around

:21:14. > :21:19.the table and their key power is the right to propose new EU laws.

:21:20. > :21:24.The European Commission cannot set Britain's tax rates, its health

:21:25. > :21:30.But it can propose things like common trading rules,

:21:31. > :21:36.farm subsidies and environmental policies.

:21:37. > :21:40.The Commission though does not get to decide those new laws.

:21:41. > :21:43.That is the job of the European Council, which represents

:21:44. > :21:46.the governments of the 28 member states.

:21:47. > :21:48.This is the body where British ministers, that we elect,

:21:49. > :21:53.can veto or vote against proposals they don't like.

:21:54. > :21:55.And let's not forget the only directly elected parts

:21:56. > :21:58.of the EU, the European Parliament.

:21:59. > :22:04.It has 751 members, known as MEPs, of which 73

:22:05. > :22:08.represent Britain, the third-largest national grouping.

:22:09. > :22:11.There is also the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg,

:22:12. > :22:15.the judges who make sure no one breaks EU law.

:22:16. > :22:20.But critics say all that means too much power has left Westminster.

:22:21. > :22:23.We have given away our right to self-government, so instead

:22:24. > :22:28.of the people you elect to Westminster being responsible,

:22:29. > :22:30.being allowed to do their best and you can get rid

:22:31. > :22:32.of them if they make a mess, you cannot

:22:33. > :22:35.change any of these things because they have been settled

:22:36. > :22:38.in Brussels by 28 countries, and there is no

:22:39. > :22:40.chance of getting 27 other countries to agree with us,

:22:41. > :22:46.So critics say there is a gap between the free market many thought

:22:47. > :22:49.they were joining and the centralising bureaucracy

:22:50. > :22:51.of Brussels that is deciding stuff

:22:52. > :22:55.that really should be a matter for our Parliament.

:22:56. > :23:01.And supporters say the EU is still greater than the sum of its parts.

:23:02. > :23:05.Ultimately, this referendum will be about power.

:23:06. > :23:07.Should it reside wholly at Westminster

:23:08. > :23:15.Chris Grayling is one of the six Cabinet ministers to go

:23:16. > :23:18.against his Prime Minister and campaign to leave the EU.

:23:19. > :23:20.Alan Johnson is a former Home Secretary

:23:21. > :23:28.in charge of Labour's efforts to stay.

:23:29. > :23:36.Alan Johnson, I will start with you, if I may, be honest, you do

:23:37. > :23:42.obviously lose control, you lose sovereignty if you join a great big

:23:43. > :23:47.club because you can be outvoted? Isn't it honest to admit that? You

:23:48. > :23:51.can. The argument John Redwood was making was being made by Scots last

:23:52. > :23:56.year saying if we leave the United Kingdom we could have control over

:23:57. > :24:00.our own affairs. Our argument was if you are part of something bigger you

:24:01. > :24:06.gain in Scotland and the whole of the UK would gain as well. I don't

:24:07. > :24:09.think I can think of an example whether it is the United Nations,

:24:10. > :24:14.Nato or the World Trade Organisation, where you don't lose

:24:15. > :24:20.some of your control, in order to cooperate with other countries to a

:24:21. > :24:28.meaningful effect? If a businessman in your constituency wanted to sell

:24:29. > :24:31.all of oil in six litre containers, some rule from Brussels would tell

:24:32. > :24:39.him he could not -- olive oil. People say, why should we tolerate

:24:40. > :24:46.that? That was the case I would look into that. It is a case. The

:24:47. > :24:49.competition rules say that for our big markets for our companies to

:24:50. > :24:54.sell into, bigger commercial markets than the US or China, there have to

:24:55. > :24:59.be rules that govern that, in our interests as well, for the olive oil

:25:00. > :25:05.maker in Hull, who I have not heard of yet but I am sure he is there. We

:25:06. > :25:11.have ceded to Brussels by treaty to our Parliament. He has said you give

:25:12. > :25:16.a bit, but you give something back. Chris Grayling, you said recently it

:25:17. > :25:21.would be disastrous to stay in the EU. Puzzled by this. We still

:25:22. > :25:26.control matters of war and peace, we still control the NHS, we still

:25:27. > :25:32.control our schools, we control taxes, the minimum wage, day by day

:25:33. > :25:35.the main business of government is controlled by Westminster and

:25:36. > :25:40.Whitehall. But there are plenty of issues where that is not the case.

:25:41. > :25:46.The EU has decided what vitamin tablets we are allowed to take.

:25:47. > :25:50.They're also the big issues. At the moment, our statisticians are saying

:25:51. > :25:55.our population will rise to 75 to 80 million. I don't believe we can

:25:56. > :25:59.cope. We have not got the schools, houses or hospitals. But we cannot

:26:00. > :26:04.set limits on the large numbers of people who want to come and live and

:26:05. > :26:09.work in the UK. If large numbers of people want to come from Eastern

:26:10. > :26:13.Europe, we cannot set limits. I asked you to talk about sovereignty,

:26:14. > :26:17.there is an enormous amount we control, we make a decision on

:26:18. > :26:23.immigration and as I two Nigel Farage, people go the other

:26:24. > :26:26.direction as well. We have just had two successful international visits

:26:27. > :26:31.from the Chinese president and the Indian Prime Minister. We are not

:26:32. > :26:34.able now to forge our own free trade agreements with India and China. We

:26:35. > :26:42.have to ask the EU's permission to get on with that. Why is that in our

:26:43. > :26:48.interest? We have to wait for the whole of Europe. The Prime Minister

:26:49. > :26:53.of India said Britain should remain in the EU. Our exports to India

:26:54. > :27:01.Pakistan have gone up by 93% since we were members. People in 1975

:27:02. > :27:06.agreed that actually we should have on competition law, it should be

:27:07. > :27:10.European wide, so that British companies don't suffer from

:27:11. > :27:14.uncompetitive practices. That is the point, Chris Grayling, at the

:27:15. > :27:18.moment, if a British company is discriminated against in Europe, you

:27:19. > :27:22.can take it to the European Court. Someone in your constituency can

:27:23. > :27:28.say, this is not fair, the rule for not being applied. If you leave,

:27:29. > :27:31.there's nothing you can do? For a long time we have been the good

:27:32. > :27:36.guys, often our businesses find it is not happening elsewhere. When

:27:37. > :27:41.they knock on your door you will have to say, search me, nothing I

:27:42. > :27:45.can do. Within which gives us a really strong hand in all of this,

:27:46. > :27:48.in what you are talking about now and in Brexit and what comes

:27:49. > :27:52.afterwards, they depend on us much more than we depend on them. They

:27:53. > :28:01.spend far less money with us than we do with them. 65 million people by

:28:02. > :28:07.more... It is all they end them. This is 27 countries on our own

:28:08. > :28:11.continent who we decided to work with originally to stop wars

:28:12. > :28:15.starting in Europe. The result of which was carnage for the 20th

:28:16. > :28:20.century. The idea that we should get together is have George or Rather

:28:21. > :28:24.than war war was Churchill. It was Nato to keep the peace. We do not

:28:25. > :28:30.have to be in the EU to keep the peace. Is this it? It is a decision

:28:31. > :28:36.one way or the other. I hope people will decide to leave because that is

:28:37. > :28:38.what makes us an independent country once again. Thank you.

:28:39. > :28:41.I'm often told that it doesn't matter how you vote because "they"

:28:42. > :28:44.are all the same and "they" are all in it for themselves

:28:45. > :28:52.The choice will be a simple, plain, black and white one -

:28:53. > :28:59.Now, though, is not about their future.

:29:00. > :29:02.It is about you and yours and your country's.
