Britain's Education Secretary urges people to think about the young in Brexit referendum

Britain's Secretary of Education is urging parents and grandparents to think of young people as the country decides whether to stay within the European Union in a referendum in June. 

Nicky Morgan says a vote to leave the EU will be a gamble with the future of their children and grandchildren.   She is also calling for young people to make sure they vote in the referendum as she says if Britain leaves the EU, which is being  dubbed "Brexit", it will be young people who will suffer the most, as the country will be left in limbo as it negotiates a new future. 

The Leave/Remain debate has bitterly divided the ruling Conservative party and  opinion polls show the country fairly evenly divided on the issue.  However Education Secretary Nicky Morgan says young people have got used to easy access to the EU and should get involved with the Remain campaign. 


IN: They take for granted…

OUT: …has to offer."
