UK’s business leaders warn against Brexit

A group of economic leaders of Britain have warned that leaving the European Union would put the country’s economy at risk.

According to Press TV, chairmen or chief executives of 36 FTSE and 100 companies signed a letter published by Times saying an EU exit would deter investment in the UK.

The letter said the Prime Minister David Cameron had secured a commitment from the EU "to reduce the burden of regulation, deepen the single market and to sign-off crucial international trade deals."

"Business needs unrestricted access to the European market of 500 million people in order to continue to grow, invest and create jobs. Britain will be strong, safer and better off remaining a member of the EU," the letter said.

A referendum on UK’s EU membership is slashed for 23 June. The issue has long been a hot topic in the British society.
