Michael Fallon: Brexit would weaken security in the West

Britain leaving the EU would weaken security in the West, Defence Minister Michael Fallon has said.

Speaking at NATO, Mr Fallon said: "This is a dangerous moment. No country has ever left either NATO or the European Union and that would clearly weaken the security of Western Europe. Those are the twin pillars of our security."

He also dismissed reports of a possible EU army, saying Britain would veto such a proposal.
