Chair's comment
BIS Committee Chair Iain Wright said:
"Business reasons have been cited on both sides of the EU debate, from the costs and benefits of membership such as complying with regulation, access to skills and labour through the free movement of people, and the effect being in the single market has on attracting Foreign Direct Investment.
The Business Committee will use these two sessions to test the basis of these arguments and help the British public make a better informed decision on 23 June."
