UK BUSINESS LEADERS BACK EU

The leaders of some of Britain's biggest companies have signed a letter saying leaving the EU would put the UK economy at risk and threaten jobs.

The letter, published in the Times newspaper, has signatures from the bosses of Marks & Spencer, Vodafone and BT.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has called an in-out referendum on EU membership for June, after securing a package of reforms in Brussels.

However, those supporting the OUT campaign say leaving the EU would cut costs and regulation for business.
