FSB comments on announcement of EU referendum date

Following today’s announcement by the Prime Minister that the referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU will take place on 23 June 2016, Mike Cherry, Policy Director for the Federation of Small Businesses, said:

"FSB’s role as the voice of smaller businesses will be critical when the referendum campaign officially begins. Our research shows small business owners want both official campaigns to focus on the practical impact that remaining within or leaving the EU would have on their firms. We will push both sides to address the questions our members want to see answered, before they cast their vote.”
