Revealed: how Tories covered up pro-EU evidence in key Whitehall report | World news | The Guardian:



"Japanese government: “The UK, as a champion of free trade, is a reliable partner for Japan. More than 1,300 Japanese companies have invested in the UK, as part of the single market of the EU, and have created 130,000 jobs, more than anywhere else in Europe.”



BAE Systems: “Generally, we consider that the UK achieves much greater global influence by acting as part of a bloc and that the UK has been particularly successful in influencing the direction and content of EU trade policies.”



BT: “We would be concerned if the benefits – particularly in terms of market access and competitiveness, and valuable EU level action on trade and competition policy, and the single market – were to be jeopardised by a renegotiation of competences where this substantially risked unravelling the existing balance.”"
