| The debate, hosted by David Dimbleby, was broadcast from 8pm on BBC One. | |

| The case for remaining in the EU was passionately put by Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson, and Frances O'Grady, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress. | |
| Each side took questions from members of the 6,000-strong audience, as figures including Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron and former Sainsbury's CEO Justin King offered their reaction. | |
