24/05/2016 Wales EU Referendum Campaign Broadcasts

This is Sam. He's 14 months old.

How you vote in the European referendum will shape his future

and the future of everyone in our country.

If we remain in Europe, there will be more opportunities for

our children to follow their dreams and make the most out of life.

Because being in Europe helps our businesses grow and create jobs,

giving young people the chance to learn a trade, get into work

and get on in life.

People setting up a new business can trade freely with

customers across Europe, helping them build something of their own,

and create jobs for others.

Companies from around the world set up factories and offices here

so they can do business throughout Europe,

meaning more opportunities for Sam and everyone in our country.

And when you're at work, your rights are protected by EU legislation.

Paid holiday and sick leave, equal rights,

maternity and paternity leave, all secured by EU law.

Being in Europe also means families enjoy lower prices

in our shops and supermarkets.

This saves an average household £350 a year.

So, as Sam grows older, he'll have more money to put aside

for a deposit on a home, or a car or a holiday with his family.

Remaining in Europe will keep our economy stronger,

so we can invest more in vital services like schools and the NHS.

And it means Sam, and all of us, have the freedom to travel, study,

live and work wherever we want across the EU.

And Sam and every child will grow up in a country

that leads in the world, that works with others

to tackle the big issues like climate change and terrorism.

But leaving the EU would mean losing all of this.

It's a leap in the dark, and would leave UK families £4,300 worse off.

So on June 23rd, vote for more opportunities

and a stronger future for Sam and for everyone you know.

Your family, your friends, your children, your grandchildren.

Vote for a stronger, safer and better-off Wales.

Vote Remain.
