AN MEP for Yorkshire and Humber will speak and field questions about the European Union at an event in Silsden this Saturday.

Richard Corbett (pictured), who is co-author of 'The European Union: How does it work?', will be speaking at Silsden Methodist Church at 11.30am.

He will talk and answer questions about how the EU operates, and about how its laws are made, who makes them and how many affect British people.

Meeting organiser Caroline Whitaker, of 38 Degrees Airedale, said: "As an organisation 38 Degrees is committed to providing impartial facts so people can make an informed decision when they cast their ballot in the referendum on June 23."
