What has the EU done for people living in the UK?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

What has that membership of the EU done for each individual in this country? Have your working conditions changed - for good or ill - as a result of EU policy? Are you one of those doctors whose working hours have been limited to 48 a week? Have you benefited from passport-free travel between member countries, or has freedom of movement around the EU had a negative impact? What about the things we buy? You might miss those traditional lightbulbs - our mailbox would suggest you do - but have products have become better and safer as a result of EU directives? But then, would they have done anyway? Whether it's the workplace or the marketplace, what has EU membership done for you? 03700 100 400 or you can e-mail via the Radio 4 website or text us on 84844.
