Pertinent Points From City AM Piece ......
The oft-repeated claim that 3m British jobs depend on Britain's membership of the EU has been challenged in a new report by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA).
The report's author, Ryan Bourne, calls on the public and commentators to challenge the assertion frequently made by pro-EU supporters.
"It can be said with certainty that three to four million jobs are not at risk in the event of a Brexit", Bourne said.
He added "It’s high time that politicians and commentators stopped scaremongering, and recognised that jobs are associated with trade and not the membership of a political union" .
