BRITISH intelligence services will be “undermined” by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) unless UK voters opt to ditch Brussels, Michael Gove will warn.
The Cabinet heavyweight is set to insist that sticking with the bloc is the “danger” option for voters as he accuses the pro-Europe campaign of treating people like children.
He will say: “The ECJ has recently used the charter to make clear that it can determine how our intelligence services monitor suspected terrorists.
“How long before the ECJ starts undermining the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing agreements that have been a foundation of British security since 1945, and which are the source of jealousy and suspicion in Brussels?”
The Justice Secretary will suggest Britain will be susceptible to terror attacks
Michael Gove will claim the ‘In’ campaign, backed by Mr Cameron, is patronising voters
As long as we are in the EU we cannot control our borders
He will add: “The report from the Treasury is an official admission from the In campaign that if we vote to stay in the EU then immigration will continue to increase by hundreds of thousands year on year.
“Over 250,000 people came to Britain from Europe last year. As long as we are in the EU we cannot control our borders and cannot develop an immigration policy which is both truly humane and in our long-term economic interests.”
He will add: “The Remain campaign want us to believe that Britain is beaten and broken.
“If we vote to remain, the EU’s bosses and bureaucrats will take that as carte blanche to continue taking more power and money away from Britain. We’ll be told by Brussels to ‘shut up and suck it up’.”
