On a campaigning trip to Leicester European Elections candidate, Issan Ghazni met with a number of business owners, including the owner of an electrical and hardware store, a butcher and a dry cleaner who has been trading for the past 30 years.
Issan spoke with them all about the importance of the EU to British trade.
Issan said "Liberal Democrat MEPs have backed Europe-wide action to deliver jobs and growth in Britain. This is worth at least £12billion each year to the UK in extra trade from EU trade agreements, £10billion in EU grants and loans for UK businesses to help create over 200,000 jobs, and £60billion EU-wide funding to support research & technology across UK.
"It's important for our region that the East Midlands continues to have a Lib Dem MEP to deliver both a stronger economy and a fairer society. Please back the Lib Dems and Bill Newton Dunn, MEP with your vote on Thursday."
