BREXIT 'WOULD SHRINK UK ECONOMY BY 6%'

Britain's economy could be 6% smaller by 2030 if the country votes to exit the European Union.

That's according to a major report from the UK's Treasury which suggests each British household could be over $6000 a year worse off in the event of a 'BREXIT'.

UK Chancellor George Osborne is presenting the report as official evidence of the damage that could be done to the economy.

But campaigners for Brexit say it's fear-mongering ahead of an in-out referendum in June.

Political reporter Theo Usherwood says the report is causing a political row.
