Events

We held two events in Westminster on 10 May. The morning event saw the CPC research teams present their interim findings to an audience of policy-makers, academics, charity workers and journalists, followed by questions and discussion which will feed into their continuing research. Videos of the presentations can be seen on our YouTube channel:

Who are EU migrants?
Should I stay or should I go?
Expense turns to investment

In the afternoon we held a panel debate, with members of the public invited to be audience members. Chaired by BBC Radio 4'S Mark Mardell, the panel comprised of our own CPC researchers, Don Flynn from the Migrants' Rights Network and Adrian Favell from the University of Leeds. There was much lively discussion, with topics ranging from the economic contribution of migrants to the work of the UK Border Police. After the event, when questioned, 70% of the audience said that they felt they understood more about the implications of a possible Brexit for EU migrants, while more than half said they would talk to friends and colleagues about the issues raised in the debate.
