Letter to The Times
[edit]In a letter published in The Times, a wide range of business leaders, including 36 FTSE 100 companies, called for a vote to stay in the European Union.

We believe that leaving the EU would deter investment, threaten jobs, and put the economy at risk. Britain will be stronger, safer, and better off remaining a member of the EU".[52][53]

Healthcare professionals letter
[edit]In a letter to The Times, around 200 healthcare professionals defended the EU as an overall benefit to UK public health, the NHS and health research. Sections from the letter stated "As health professionals and researchers we write to highlight the valuable benefits of continued EU membership to the NHS, medical innovation and UK public health". "We have made enormous progress over decades in international health research, health services innovation and public health. Much has been built around shared policies and capacity across the EU". "EU trade deals will not privatise the NHS as the EU negotiating position now contains clear safeguards. Decisions on NHS privatisation are in UK government hands alone. EU immigration is a net benefit to our NHS in terms of finances, staffing and exchanges". "Finally, leaving the EU would not provide a financial windfall for the NHS". Signatories included:[343][344]

Politicians
[edit]Only politicians who hold positions that differ from the party line or whose party is officially neutral are listed here.
Conservative Party
[edit]Within the Conservative Party (which was officially neutral): Five Cabinet members:
- Michael Gove (Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice)
- John Whittingdale (Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport)
- Chris Grayling (Leader of the House of Commons and the Lord President of the Council)
- Theresa Villiers (Secretary of State for Northern Ireland)
- Priti Patel (Minister of State for Employment)
At the time the referendum was called, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions was Iain Duncan Smith, who also supports leave. He subsequently resigned following the 2016 United Kingdom budget.[427] Some suspected his resignation was due to his support for British withdrawal from the EU,[428][429] but Duncan Smith has denied this, stating that such allegations were a "deliberate attempt to discredit" him.[430]
As well as these ministers, the former Mayor of London Boris Johnson;[431][432][433] the Conservative candidate for the 2016 mayoral election, Zac Goldsmith;[434] former leader Michael Howard,[435] former Defence Secretary Liam Fox[436] and the leader of the Welsh Conservative Party Andrew RT Davies[437] campaigned to leave. The party campaign to exit the EU is "Conservatives for Britain" which is headed by two former Chancellors of the Exchequer, Lord Lawson (Nigel Lawson) and Lord Lamont (Norman Lamont).[438]
