:03:49. > :03:53.to people who are suspected of terrorism, the people of our country

:06:02. > :06:05.cost business and restrict freedom. This is how the single market works
:06:06. > :06:09.at the moment. It allows goods, services and money to be bought and
:06:10. > :06:12.sold freely around the European Union, but there are rules which
:06:13. > :06:17.come alongside that. Free movement is one of them, which is why people
:06:18. > :06:21.can come to the UK from all over Europe and lots of Britain's retired

:06:28. > :06:30.significant moment. You just had the leave campaign admit this morning
:06:31. > :06:34.that Britain would leave the single market, the largest free trade area
:06:35. > :06:38.in the world. That would be catastrophic for people's jobs,

:07:29. > :07:33.fallacies the vote leave campaign is making. Trade deals are very
:07:34. > :07:37.difficult to do. They take a long time. Part of this EU debate is

:07:42. > :07:44.could hinge on whether people believe that their personal
:07:45. > :07:49.prosperity is at stake, whether that's jobs or the cost of the
