UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne called for pro-European Union businesses to speak up about their concerns as polls suggest momentum is building for a vote to leave the bloc.
"People who are concerned or businesses who are concerned or investors who are concerned about the prospect of Britain leaving the EU should speak up," Osborne said in an interview with Bloomberg Television in Liverpool.
"This is not the moment for businesses to sit it out."
His plea comes as former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown prepares to relaunch the opposition Labour Party’s campaign to keep Britain in the bloc.
"Remain" is hoping that Labour can convince those voters who have yet to decide how to vote to support its campaign as polls suggest the result is on a knife-edge.
Asked whether he’d remain as chancellor in the event of a Brexit, Osborne said he’s got “a huge amount more to do,” adding: “this is not about my job, in the end it’s about the country’s economic future.”
