Two prominent members of David Cameron's cabinet will appear in south Cumbria to discuss the Vote Leave campaign ahead of the EU referendum.

Northern Ireland secretary, Theresa Villiers and defence minister Penny Mordaunt will be at Cartmel Racecourse on Monday May 30 in the Brexit Battle Bus to answer questions and speak to race goers about the campaign to leave the EU.

Members of the Vote Leave campaign, led by Boris Johnson, have been travelling up and down the country in the bus. 

The North West regional director for the Vote Leave campaign, Paul White, is excited for the next Brexit push at Cartmel, after a successful debate at the racecourse in April. He said: "Cumbria is turning out to be one of the most Eurosceptic counties in Britain.

"Cumbrian people feel that the EU is taking their democracy away. The Vote Leave campaign has had a great reception and lots of support from volunteers.

"For people who haven't made their mind up yet or feel that they don't know enough about the referendum to vote, Monday will be a fantastic opportunity to put your queries to the experts. The bus will be at the racecourse for around four to five hours from 11.30am and we will have a Vote Leave stall there all day."

Both David Cameron and leading Vote Leave campaigners have come under fire in the last few weeks over outlandish claims and misleading statistics. The arrival of the Brexit Battle Bus in Cumbria will give people the chance to pose their questions on these matters and help them make a final decision before the referendum on June 23.

Lord Cavendish chaired the April meeting at Cartmel Racecourse, where he confirmed that he is involved with the Vote Leave campaign as an individual, not as the head of the Holker Estate Company Ltd. 

He said: "I passionately believe that we need to leave the EU. As somebody who has sat on the Conservative benches in the House of Lords, it saddens me to go against the current government in this regard but I have to stand up for what I believe to be right."
