UK PM warns youth of consequences of Brexit

(7 Apr 2016) RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY UK POOL - AP CLIENTS ONLY Exeter - 7 April 2016 1. University of Exeter students 2. SOUNDBITE (English) David Cameron, British Prime Minister: "It is, I think, one of the most important political decisions that you will take in your lifetime. When we have a general election we vote in a government and if we don't like that government, five years later we can vote them out again. That's obviously not a bit I like about life, but none the less that's the way it works. With this referendum about whether we stay in or whether we leave a reformed European Union it's a vote and a decision that we will be living with probably for the rest of our life time. So it is absolutely vital we really think hard about all of the issues and we make a clear and sensible decision." 3. Student asking question 4. SOUNDBITE (English) David Cameron, British Prime Minister: "So I make no apology for the fact that we have, you know, we are sending to every household in the country, this leaflet which sets out what the government's view is and why we come to that view. We are not neutral in this. We think it would be a bad decision to leave. We think it would be bad for our economy, bad for jobs, bad for investment, bad for families' finances. We think it would be bad for universities. We are not neutral so we have made a clear stance in this leaflet which I hope everyone will get a copy of at their home." 5. University of Exeter sign 6. SOUNDBITE (English) David Cameron, British Prime Minister: "Because I think that in many ways you have the most to gain by staying in a reformed European Union and you also have the most to lose if we leave the European Union but I'm afraid to say that as things stand, you're the least likely people to vote. That's what's happened in past general elections. So, my plea is really have a look at this and decide to vote on June 23." 7. Cameron leaving STORYLINE: British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Thursday that he makes no apology for sending pro-European Union (EU) leaflets "to every household in the country". Cameron had come under fire for spending more than 9 million pounds sterling (12.6 million US Dollars) on publicity ahead of the referendum on the future of Britain's EU membership. Speaking at the University of Exeter Cameron warned the young people that they had the most to lose if the UK left the EU, and urged them to vote on 23 June. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: [email protected] (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
