Commenting on yesterday’s speech by the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, EEF North West Region Director, Darrell Matthews, said: “By calling on business and industry to engage, it’s good that the Deputy Prime Minister has attempted to widen the debate.

"What we really need to be talking about is not just the consequences of leaving, but how we secure the benefits of our membership.”
