Now that the Prime Minister has concluded his negotiations over the terms of our membership in the European Union, I wanted to make sure that my constituents were the first to know what my position is and how I will be voting in the upcoming referendum.

I want to be absolutely clear – I will be voting to leave the EU. This is not a decision that I have made quickly or easily, as I have been a strong advocate for reform within Europe for many years. I have written an open letter to all of my constituents in South Northamptonshire which sets out why I am voting to leave in detail.

You can read my letter here.
