Michael Gove to comment on the misuse of official statistics by Vote Leave. |
|
|
Serving cabinet minister, Michael Gove was co-convenor of Vote Leave and has explicitly supported the group's claim:
“We send the EU £350 million a week. Let’s fund our NHS instead.”
The UK Statistics Authority has debunked this claim, we demand from Mr Gove an explanation of his position. |

In 2016 the UK Statistics Authority debunked the Vote Leave claim that the UK contributes £350 million to the EU each week, and that this full amount could be spent on the NHS. (https://t.co/UdsNlI3mLQ)
Despite this, a recent study by King's College has shown that 42% of Britons who had heard of the claim still believe it. (https://t.co/9yG1vQQ5xA)
Therefore, it is important for our democracy that Michael Gove issue a statement to eliminate public confusion over the matter. |
