This just arrived in my inbox at work:
Dear Colleagues,
Ahead of the critical referendum vote tomorrow and after his roadshow in Manchester earlier this week, George Freeman, Minister for Life Sciences has asked that the following message be circulated to the sector.
I hope this encourages you to vote
Kind regards Geoff
Afternoon,
I wanted to thank you for joining me at our recent Cluster roundtable and my nationwide tour of Life Science clusters and Rallies4Remain.
It was so valuable for me to hear your insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the Life Science sector in your cluster, and to hear the unanimous voice of the sector in urging voters to recognise that we need to remaIN inside the EU for continued scientific collaboration, investment, access to the single market, influence over regulation and long term prosperity.
In less than 24 hours’ time, we will make the most important political decision for a generation. While, of course, the EU needs ongoing reform, the impact of the EU Referendum will affect this country for decades to come and the risks of leaving the EU for the UK’s Life Science sector could not be clearer.
You can find more information on each rally and a short film we’ve created to capture the story and message of the Rally4Remain events here:

The only way to fully protect the UK’s ongoing strength in Life Sciences is by voting to REMAIN on June 23rd.
So what can you do?
Please take a minute to:
- share the link to the film on social media,
- forward this email to as many people in the sector you know and urge them to vote tomorrow.
It’s crucial that the voice of this sector doesn’t go unheard!
Yours,
George Freeman MP
Member of Parliament for Mid Norfolk
Minister for Life Sciences
