How would the North East be hit if we voted to leave the EU this week?

With less than a week until Britain votes on its membership of the European Union, we're speaking to those who rely on the EU for business and those who feel breaking away could benefit the country.

Castleton Farm near Fourdon employs hundreds of people in Eastern Europe to pick fruit - the owners say say Scots simply don't apply.

Our reporter Phil McDonald sat down with Duryama Adryam from Romania, who currently works as a Supervisor at the farm.

He says the debate on immigration has been unfair on those who have come to work in Britain:

The Vote Leave campaign say they want migration to keep bringing benefits to the UK - but it's vital it's brought under control.

One industry that has shown its support for leaving the EU is the North East fishing sector.

Around nine out of ten fishermen surveyed said they would be voting leave on June 23rd.

James Bromley from Portlethen is from Business For Britain - they're backing the Vote Leave campaign.
