Reader's Letter Of The Day

From City AM:
Lucy Thomas' declaration that 'nearly half our trade is with other EU countries* is, to be charitable, economical with the truth.
About 80 per cent of our trade is internal - and only 8% of our trade is with EU countries.
As the referendum approaches, we must not allow these distortions to become accepted truth.

* Pedant point - they are not "EU countries", they are "EU Member States".
