One of the leading campaigners for Britain to leave

the European Union, Michael Gove, has confirmed that he also wants

Mr Gove said that Britain should negotiate access to the market

But the Chancellor, George Osborne, said leaving the single market

would be catastrophic for the UK, impacting not just trade but house

prices and interest rates, as our political correspondent,

With in month's elections now out of the way, the focus of politics

shifts y, the focus of politics shifts to a single topic - the EU

referendum, just over six weeks away. The central battleground is

the economy, and for those wanting to leave, a big question. Should we

or should we not be inside the single market? Do you want us to

stay inside the single market, yes or no No, we should be outside the

single market. We should have access to the single market but not be

Gordon by the rules that the European Court of Justice imposes on

us which cost business and restrict freedom. On a different comfy Chair

and a different channel, a fellow Cabinet Minister, with a very

different view. We've just had the Leave campaign admit this morning

that Britain would leave the single market, the largest free trade area

in the world. That would be catastrophic for people's jobs and

their incomes and their livelihoods. Some people might think wrecking the

economy is a price worth pay, I reject that. What is the single

market? The idea is that it allows goods, services and money to be

bought and sold freely around the European Union. It also allows free

moment, which is why people can move to the EU from all over Europe and

lots of Britons retire to Spain. You're looking now at another

battleground in this row, the value of your home, the cost of your

mortgage. Mortgage. The In campaign reckon if we leave their opponents

say it is a scare story based on no evidence. In the next six weeks,

remember this, there are very few uncontestable facts in this EU

debate. Both sides are trading in the same currency, predictions,

guesses about the future. Those campaigning for a withdrawal

from the EU have denied suggestions that a vote to leave could undermine

the UK's ability to protect The claim was made by two former

senior British intelligence officials, who said Britain

benefited from the sharing But the Vote Leave campaign said

the UK would be safer outside They were until recently the two

most important officials in Britain intelligence, the former heads of

MI5 and MI6, say counter-terrorism is a team game that the EU is the

best framework. How would Britain's security be affected if we pulled

out of the union? The man who led MI5 here in London along with his

foreign intelligence counterpart wrote in the Sunday times that we

must stay in so our spies can continue to access and share data on

terrorists and cyber criminals. They also say our ability to extradite

suspects quickly to and from other EU countries would be affected if we

left. Sir John told the BBC that the EU system is an important part of

our intelligence capabilities. We've built these structures over the last

30 or 40 years and we Britain have played a very important role,

especially in making sure the security dimension is properly

considered and properly integrated into the EU decisions that are

taken. If we walk away from it we will lose a lot of those gains. But

would we? Just a few weeks ago another former head of MI6, Sir

Richard Dearlove said, Brexit another former head of MI6, Sir

Convention on Human Rights, and greater control over immigration

from the EU And the leading political voice argued that the

current system is imperfect. The European records criminal records

system doesn't allow us to know whether or not criminals come into

this country. We only find out whether or not people have criminal

records after they've already committed an offence in this

country. It is a gossamer thin protection. The focus of the

referendum debate is shifting to the impact on our security and ability

to protect our border, and these arguments will be picked over in

detail. At least 52 people have died
