It has been announced today that Caroline will be joining the board of the 'In' campaign in fav our of Britain's continued membership of the European Union. The official launch will be early this week. 

After her membership of the board was announced, Caroline said:

"“I’ve joined the board of the ‘In’ campaign because I believe we are stronger when we work across borders on the challenges we face.

“In particular I want to give young people a reason to engage with a referendum that will shape their futures, both in terms of protecting our shared environment and our basic rights, and by helping define the kind of country we want to be. 

“Britain in the EU is open and forward looking. It's about our identity: confident, vibrant, inquiring, open minded. A community that welcomes opportunity, celebrates diversity and is passionate about the power of collective action."

Caroline went on to say:

“Though I don’t see eye to eye with every member on the board on every issue we all share a commitment to Britain remaining in the EU. I will make a truly progressive case for a more democratic and accountable European Union. 

“A different kind of EU is possible: one where power is held locally whenever it can be, where citizens have a real say in decisions made in Brussels and where corporate lobbyists are banished from the halls of power.

“This referendum campaign is a chance to reimagine what democracy looks like, reshape what having a say really means and reinvigorate our politics. 

“I look forward to working with people across the political spectrum and across our communities to make a positive case for our continued membership of the European Union."

Caroline will attend the launch of the 'In' campaign and will be available for further questions there. Please email clucasmedia@parliament.uk for more information.
