The Treasury Committee’s report, external on the economic and financial costs and benefits of the UK's EU membership shows David Cameron's renegotiation strategy "fell short" of his ambitions, according to Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg.
He accuses the Remain campaign of using "a misleading figure on jobs - while the figure for the cost of imports if we left the EU is 'unhelpful and tendentious'."
The Conservative MP also hit out at Chancellor George Osborne over the Treasury claim that leaving the EU would cost households £4,300 each.
Quote MessageMost shockingly the chancellor, George Osborne, has consistently used a figure that he ought to have known would have been misunderstood and has misrepresented the Treasury’s own analysis to do so. As the committee notes, it is 'disappointing' that he places so much emphasis on a single misunderstood figure."
Voters in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are likely to choose to remain in the European Union - if the latest opinion polls are correct.
With surveys in London also suggesting strong support for staying in the EU, the result of the referendum on 23 June could hang on the verdict of voters across the rest of England.
The latest opinion poll of the electorate in Scotland, conducted by ICM, puts Remain on 54%, Leave on 32% and Don't Know on 14%.
Every poll in Scotland so far this year has put Remain ahead of Leave. In Wales the race looks like being a lot closer.
The latest opinion poll puts Remain on 40%, just one percentage point ahead of Leave on 39%, while Don't Know is on 22%. The survey was conducted by YouGov.

Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie made the plea as he warned that the former first minister was "undermining" the remain campaign.
In a TV debate, Mr Salmond said Scotland could vote for independence within two years of a UK Brexit vote.
A SNP spokesman said the former party leader made an "outstanding" case for the UK's continued EU membership.
But Mr Rennie accused the former first minister of "behaving like a not-so-secret agent for the leave campaign" by focusing on Scottish independence, adding that his comments made a vote to leave more likely.

Speaking to BBC News, former Labour cabinet minster Caroline Flint says EU membership offers jobs and security. She says people's shopping bills are cheaper in the UK as a result of being in the EU and that they are able to get cheap flights to take an annual holiday.
Asked whether Jeremy Corbyn is doing enough on the campaign trail, Ms Flint says the leader has shown "clearly that Labour is full square" behind fighting for EU membership.
"Labour voters have listened to him and taken heart," she adds, predicting he'll be "working his socks off" in the weeks ahead to secure a Remain vote.
Reality Check
What impact would a British exit from the European Union have on the Premier League?
Would it mean that more British footballers had the chance to play in the competition and would it make it harder for European players to be signed by English clubs?
The BBC's Europe correspondent Chris Morris looks into the situation in response to a question from a listener to Radio 4's PM programme, Simon Warner.

Image source, PANicky Morgan also told Pink News that leaving the EU could leave gay people in the UK more vulnerable to discrimination.
The pro-Remain minister accused some Leave campaigners of wanting to scale back minority rights, and she said the "legal tangle" that would result from an EU exit could see debates reopened over hard-won protections.
Quote MessageOne of the things that hasn't really been explored is the legal tangle that will result if we were to leave the EU. Some of the anti-discrimination provisions that come from the EU, that we have adopted into UK law... what happens to those? Do we really want to have another debate about discrimination, and a lack of protection with regards to sexual orientation?"

"Education Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities Nicky Morgan has criticised Boris Johnson for his 'misguided' comments about LGBT rights in the EU," reports Pink News., external
"In a video last month, the former Mayor of London had encouraged LGBT people to vote to leave the EU, external, claiming LGBT rights victories in the UK had come from 'our courts and Parliament' and not Europe.
"Mr Johnson added that LGBT people should vote to 'take back control' because LGBT rights are 'under threat in Poland, in Hungary, in Romania, and other parts of the EU'.
In an interview for the paper,, external the pro-Remain Ms Morgan said:
Quote MessageI think what Boris said, and what others on that side have said, is very misguided. There is no doubt there are some people… not Boris, but some people on the Leave side, probably aren’t interested in issues of discrimination. Some of them think equality has gone too far anyway, but I think it’s misguided."
Image source, PAFormer Lib Dem minister and Remain campaigner Norman Lamb has had this to say about UK Statistics Authority chairman Andrew Dilnot's rebuke of Vote Leave, over its claim that an EU exit would save the UK £350m per week.
Quote MessageThis is an unprecedented intervention from the UK's highest statistics authority, who for the third time have felt the need to expose Vote Leave over their shameless attempts to mislead the British people. The Leave campaign’s central arguments are collapsing under the weight of independent scrutiny."

Deputy Speaker Lindsay Hoyle on the updated way of choosing private members' bills.
Yesterday the deputy Commons Speaker pulled a load of wooden balls out of a goldfish bowl. It’s a new take on a centuries old tradition - of selecting who gets first dibs in the Private Members’ Bill ballot.
A private members' bill is a piece of legislation introduced by a backbench MP. As they aren't in government, it's one of the only ways for them to try and bring in a new law.
It might sound a bit daft, and it certainly looks a bit like a cheap version of the lottery, but it’s actually an important moment in our democratic process.
Professor Tony Yates is quizzed on the accuracy of economic forecasting.
Professor Tony Yates, who organised a letter to the Times signed by 200 economists, has argued that leaving the EU would be a "major mistake".
He spoke to Daily Politics presenter Andrew Neil on the accuracy of political and economic forecasts, after reporter Giles Dilnot looked at the record of the "dismal science".

Commons Treasury Committee chairman Andrew Tyrie calls for "an end to the arms race of ever more lurid claims and counter claims made by both sides" in the EU referendum campaign.
"I think it’s confusing the public, it's impoverishing political debate," he tells the World at One. "The public are thoroughly fed up with it.”
Vote Leave's £350m claim was, he said, "by far the most serious claim out there" and was "simply not true". However, the government and the Treasury had done "a bit better" and were publishing supporting material explaining how they arrived at their numbers.
But he criticised the claim that leaving the EU would cost households £4300 each.
Quote MessageIt would be more helpful... if they instead of using that number used a range, and that they always qualified it... rather than saying this is definitely going to happen."

The chairman of the Commons Treasury Committee has defended a scathing report which accuses both sides in the EU referendum campaign of publishing "misleading" figures and "implausible assumptions".
Speaking on Radio 4's the World At One, Conservative MP Andrew Tyrie described Vote Leave's claim that leaving the EU would provide the government with a windfall of £350m per week as "bogus".
He said: "There is no such sum that crosses the UK exchanges - a much smaller sum crosses, and then a lot of that money comes back as EU spending subsequently. A more reliable figure would probably be £100m per week."
Asked what Vote Leave should do, given that the £350m figure is prominently displayed on its battle bus, Mr Tyrie responded.
Quote MessageRepaint it immediately."

The Britain Stronger in Europe campaign has branded Vote Leave's Euro 2016 competition a "con".
Director Will Straw said:
Quote MessageThe odds of winning this competition are eight billion to one. The same length of odds as Vote Leave coming up with a coherent vision for what life would look like outside the EU. Given the £50m figure is a work of fiction, this is a political Ponzi scheme with Dominic Cummings acting as Vote Leave’s Bernie Madoff. Once again Vote Leave put wild guesswork at the heart of their campaign and it is the British people who they are asking to take the risk."
The Remain campaign adds that the competition is underwritten by Lloyds of London, "who have been unequivocal in saying that British business is better off in the UK".
The two sides in the EU referendum campaign have been accused of peddling "misleading" figures and "implausible assumptions" by a committee of MPs.
The Treasury Select Committee calls Vote Leave's claim that leaving the EU would save £350m a week "deeply problematic".
And it criticises the Remain campaign's claim the cost of imports could rise by "at least" £11bn if the UK leaves.
The rival groups are failing to inform the public, the MPs say.
