Converely if you are still interested in the EU debate we have been fighting the cause for LEAVE.
I stress that these are my views and not necessarily the views of the Chamber or its members. In fact we have had some remain people suggesting that we should not attempt to influence the outcome. So This month we are also making the Case for Remain as presented by Richard Harrington MP for Watford.

But First the Outcome of the Vote at Grant Shapp's University Debate 75% for LEAVE


This was a really interesting debate. CLICK HERE for a full run down of the issues and outcomes from The CBI, an MEP, Business for Britain and a Liberal Peer.
