On 23rd June we face one of the biggest decisions in recent memory: whether or not we should remain part of a reformed EU.

That’s why I was delighted to work with Mills and Reeve who kindly sponsored this event, the most recent debate in my EU: In or Out? series, making sure everyone in our area has the chance to make sure their voice is heard.

Over 200 attendees heard arguments from both Remain (Vicky Ford MEP and John Fuller) and Leave campaigners (David Campbell Bannerman and Tamsin Lodge)  During the debate, those for REMAIN had increased from 70% to 78%.

With our world-leading bio-medical and agri-tech research in the Eastern region, I believe we will be better off in a reformed EU, making sure our entrepreneurs have access to the single market to export their products and continue to create jobs in our towns and villages.
