The meeting will be chaired by Councillor Phil Larratt, who is a member of Northampton Brexit Group.

Admission to the event will be by ticket only. Tickets are available through Eventbrite.

There will be an opportunity for members of the public to put their questions to the panel. These should be submitted in advance by 5pm on Wednesday May 18 by email.

A spokesperson for Northampton Brexit said: “Northampton Brexit is pleased to host this event, which brings together high calibre speakers from various organisations.

“It offers the people of Northampton an opportunity to participate in the important issues surrounding the discussion on why the United Kingdom should vote to leave the European Union.”
