Anglia Late Edition - March 2016
Anglia Late Edition is the regional politics programme for the East of England presented by political correspondent Emma Hutchinson.
The March edition of the programme discusses the opening skirmishes in the European Union debate, the continuing refugee crisis and looks ahead to the third Budget within a year.
Just over a week after announcing a date for Britain's in-out referendum on the European Union, the Prime Minister David Cameron was in Ipswich, Suffolk campaigning to keep Britain in.
Although all seven of the Conservative MPs in Suffolk support his 'remain' stance, across the Anglia region nearly half of his MPs want to get Britain out of the EU.
ITV News Anglia's political correspondent Emma Hutchinson was joined on Anglia Late Edition by a panel of politicians from across the region.
Andrea Leadsom MP is the Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire since 2010 and is an Energy & Climate Change minister.
Richard Howitt MEP was first elected to the European Parliament for Labour in 1994. He represents the Eastern region.
Margot Parker MEP is the UKIP Euro MP for UKIP and is based in Northamptonshire.

Anglia Late Edition also looked at the continuing Syrian refugee crisis in Europe after the South Cambridgeshire MP Heidi Allen called on the government to home children orphaned by the conflict.
There have been claims that if Britain left the European Union that migrants camps currently located near Calais may move onto British soil.
French president Francois Hollande has said there will be "consequences" if Britain leaves the EU, including over immigration matters - although he accepted a Brexit would not be "catastrophic".
On 16 March 2016, the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne will present his third Budget within a year.
It follows last year's spring Budget on 18 March 2015, another Budget in July following the General Election and the Comprehensive Spending Review on 25 November 2015.
The Chancellor may further reduce public spending in the next Budget to help tackle the "storm clouds gathering in the world economy".
George Osborne said he would have to look again at public spending because the British economy "is smaller than we thought" and "the global risks are growing".
Pensions could also be targeted in the Budget. A new report has suggested that people in parts of the UK may have to work into their 80s to maintain their current living standards in retirement.
