Michael Gove says leaving the EU is necessary for people to support Britain's "multi-racial, multi ethnic society".

The pro-Leave justice secretary said the government could not limit the number of arrivals from inside the EU.

On a Question Time special, a Spanish woman who works in the UK criticised him and said: "We are not the enemy".

Mr Gove also attacked chancellor George Osborne's "Brexit Budget" warning of emergency spending cuts.

In a speech in Norwich tomorrow, Green leader Natalie Bennett will make her party's case in support of EU membership, and hail EU free movement rules.

Ms Bennett will say the NHS and other public institutions benefit from EU workers, and leaving would be "disastrous".

The Labour party has stepped up its efforts to persuade its supporters to vote in favour of staying in the EU. A strong turn-out by them is seen as critical to the Remain cause.

But are people taking any notice of appeals from political parties and their leaders? Johnny Dymond spoke to voters in Liverpool.

It was suggested by presenter Jon Snow that the PM could have easily been on the Leave campaign, but David Cameron told him he has "always argued for reform" of the EU, and added: "I've never actually argued for Out in my political lifetime."

He also denied suggestions he was dispassionate about ther EU. The PM said he wasn't a "utopian dreamer" when it came to the EU, but rather a "practical person" and so was making "practical arguments" about the UK being "safer and stronger" within the EU.

Speaking to Channel 4 News earlier, David Cameron was asked why he called a referendum on the EU, if he thinks a vote to leave would be such a risk?

The PM said it was "right for the British public to decide how the country is governed", adding: "We haven't had a vote since 1975 and I think we've had a lot of European treaties and changes since then."

He also rejected it was only his party wanting a referendum, saying all political parties were calling for one.

Reality Check

Michael Gove quoted a Bank of England report, saying: “Working people have their wages cut by 2% for every 10% increase in migration.”

The Bank of England found this could be the case in lower-paid jobs. 

It’s a 10% increase in the number of migrants working in a particular sector that matters rather than a 10% increase in the migration rate overall.

A 10% increase in the number of migrants would be a very large rise.

Reality Check

Michael Gove talked about Albania, Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia, and Turkey and said: "We’re paying at the moment nearly £2bn to get these countries into the EU."

Over a seven year period from 2014 to 2020, £1.2bn of the UK's contributions to the EU Budget will go to seven candidate states: Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. 

The UK's contribution will count towards the UK's aid target of 0.7% of national income, external.

Reality Check

A member of the audience said: “The sciences already get more from the EU than we put in”.

Over the past five years, the UK paid on average 12% of the total EU budget. 

A 2015 EU report, external on Horizon 2020, the main EU fund for science and research, shows that roughly 14% of agreements have been signed with UK institutions and that the UK is the second highest recipient of financial contributions.

Reality Check

Michael Gove says: "At the moment under European Union law there are criminals here who we can’t deport”.

It is true that under EU rules, citizens of other EU countries can only be stopped or deported on the grounds of public policy, public security or public health. And the threshold goes up after five and 10 years of residence in the UK.

EU law also gives additional rights of entry and residence to the family members of EU citizens even if they're from elsewhere. That means it's more difficult for Britain to deport or bar entry to criminals who are from the EU or related to EU citizens.

In what is Michael Gove's final pitch in this evening's Question Time special, he says that by voting to leave the EU next week, the UK would be "affirming our faith in democracy".

He adds that outside the EU, Britain will be "stronger, freer and fairer" and can be "a progressive beacon for the whole word"
