Angela Eagle MP, Labour’s Shadow First Secretary of State and Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, commenting on a survey of CBI members 80 per cent of whom think being in EU is best for their business, said:

“The Labour Party and business are at one on the need for Britain’s continued membership of the European Union, the largest single market in the world. 

“Britain’s world-leading businesses and workers know that a vote to leave the EU is a vote for higher costs and tariffs on our exporters.

“It is absolutely clear that businesses and workers are better off in the EU which helps deliver jobs, growth and investment.”
