Time: 17:00-19:00

Upon the announcement of David Cameron’s intention to hold a referendum on the UK being in or out of the EU, FEPS and IPPR would like to invite you to a debate to exchange views on Britain’s future in Europe. An evening discussion will be held to launch the recent report which examines British public opinion on Europe and illustrates many reasons why Britain is clearly better off “staying in”.
