Europe: should we stay or should we go?
It’s the dog that hasn’t yet barked. The decision to hold an in/out EU referendum has split British business down the middle, but so far the issue is yet to make its mark in the general election campaign.
Tonight we hear from two British bosses, the man who runs Dulux in the UK and the owner of SilverCross, pram-maker to the royal family.
Matt Pullen of Dulux says Brexit will cause it untold pain: higher tariffs, less skilled labour and changes to already complex regulation.
But SilverCross’s Alan Halsall is urging British business to be bold. Snatch back powers from Brussels and secure the real free trade that was promised when Britain joined Europe in 1975. And if that can’t be done, step proudly towards to the door marked exit.
Both sides are using exactly the same facts to make the opposite argument. Can they both be right?
