Remain: 'We refuse to dismiss the experts'

In the Remain campaign's closing statement at the final debate on the EU Referendum before Thursday's vote, the leader of the Scottish Conservative Party Ruth Davidson said "we refuse to dismiss the experts".

I know the EU isn't perfect, but the benefits far outweigh any costs. And the Britain that I know, the Britain that I love, works with its friends and neighbours, it doesn't walk away from them.

Sadiq, Frances and I, we refuse to dismiss the experts, we listen to them and the economists, the scientists, the businesses the trade unions, the health professionals, they all argue that Britain is better off in. You are better off in.

There is nothing more positive than having a stronger economy supporting jobs and opportunities and that's why I believe you should vote remain.

– Ruth Davidson
