The event, being held at University Centre Shrewsbury on Friday is a complete ‘sell out’, with over 200 Shropshire residents eager to hear from the pro-European Peer why the country needs a People’s Vote ahead of the final Brexit negotiations.

Organised by Open Britain Shrewsbury, the public meeting is one in a series intended to inform and encourage debate.

Open Britain Shrewsbury chairman, Andrew Bannerman said: “We are thrilled Lord Adonis is taking time out of his busy schedule to travel to Shrewsbury to debate Brexit with the people of Shropshire.

"It has become clearer in recent weeks how complex and challenging the Brexit proposals are, and we all look forward to hearing from someone with experience at the heart of Government and involved in the current Parliamentary developments, who can help inform us, whether our instinct is to leave to take a different direction, or stay in the EU and renew our role as a leading player.

“We are part of a rapidly growing national grassroots mass movement fostering debate and rational assessment of the options the UK has - based on evidence and verified data, in this age when we are bombarded with information, much of it wrong.

"We are demanding a People’s Vote towards the end of the negotiations, so that the people can give their opinion on the deal reached by the Government, to reach a clear decision on the best way forward for our country, and in the meantime we are urging all voters to engage in the issues and seek out sources of information that can be trusted.”
