The questions centred on what kind of trading relationship the United Kingdom would have with the European Union, what guarantees they have that no tariffs would be imposed and how long new negotiations would take.

Gove maintained that leaving the bloc would not have any effect on British citizens who live in the EU.
Cameron is set to join left-wing adversaries including former Labour interim leader Harriet Harman and Green Party leader Natalie Bennett later Monday to push for a remain vote in the June 23 referendum.
Although Gove agreed much of this comes back, Remain say the figures quoted by Leave are misleading.
It has emerged that Prime Minister David Cameron’s insistence that an Australian-style points-based immigration system would be bad for Britain directly contradicts a pledge to introduce such a system in the Conservative Party’s 2005 manifesto – which Mr. Cameron wrote.
Other members of the European Union are also weighing in, with a mix of entreaties to stay and warnings of the risk of a Brexit.
He added that the NHS is as safe with Leave campaigners Michael Gove, Boris Johnson, and Ian Duncan Smith as a “pet hamster with a hungry python”.
Johnson, appearing on the same programme, said Brexit would enable Britain “to take back control” over money it sent to Brussels, its borders and other parts of its economic future. If we leave Labour communities would suffer most: “from spending cuts, neglect for the needy and a bonfire of workers’ rights”, they said in their joint plea.

“And yes we do need to do things to control migration like restricting in-work welfare (payments) but it would be madness to try to do that by trashing our economy and pulling out of the single market”, Cameron said.
In their 2,000-word letter, they claim the eurozone’s economic crisis is fuelling the rise in migration, as “millions of people in southern Europe, particularly young people, are giving up hope of their countries escaping recession” and head to Britain in “disproportionate” numbers.
With extraordinary chutzpah, Mr Gove said the figure was actually more than £350m.
The Remain campaign repeatedly cites a wide range of economists, think tanks and worldwide organizations that have said the country’s economy would be damaged if it left the EU.
He denied that Vote Leave was running a “Project Lies” campaign, and said he was happy to allow independent auditors to test the widely-criticised claim.
“I am genuinely anxious about what would happen if we leave”, he said.
Britain Stronger In, which is supported by Mr Cameron, said the average new mortgage will cost £920 a year.

And speaking to the BBC the former PM condemned the “utterly false” suggestion 88 million Turks were ready to come to Britain if the country rejects Brexit.
