A recent survey revealed 85 per cent of UK citizens admitted they know little or nothing about the EU. With this in mind I highly recommended people take a look at the Britain in the EU website and pass it on to their friends.

It offers a simple explanation of how the EU works and the benefits it brings to Britain and even offers a one-minute guide to those who only want to know the very basics.

Also, by clicking here you can access details of the Europe Direct information centre for Yorkshire, based in Leeds. The purpose of this is to offer a platform for citizens to make enquiries about the EU and raise issues with the Commission.

I will also take this opportunity to plug my website which also provides plenty of information on how the EU, and in particular the Parliament, works.
