[A UK Statistics Authority statement saying that claims that leaving the European Union could save Britain £350m a week are potentially misleading is… - Norman Lamb

I have deep criticisms of the EU and believe it needs fundamental reform to make it more dynamic, flexible and less centralised. But I felt and still feel that it’s better to fight for change from within. I voted remain but I am a democrat and I believe we have a duty to try to make Brexit work.

Brexit is at the front of many people’s minds in this election, and my position is clear. Although I voted to Remain, I am a democrat and I accept the outcome of the referendum. Now that the people have voted to leave the EU, I will fight to make sure North Norfolk gets the best possible deal from negotiations – for local businesses, jobs, and public services.

It would be ludicrous if the government, in what appears to be a zealous fixation on reducing migration at all costs, pulled us out of the EEA without due consideration of the security that these deals provide to British pensioners in Europe.
