Conservative Member of Parliament for Lincoln Karl McCartney has stated he will be voting to leave the EU amid “disappointment generated by the lack of changes generated in the current European Union Deal”.

He will be joined by fellow Conservative Lincolnshire MPs Sir Edward Leigh (Gainsborough), Stephen Phillips (Sleaford and North Hykeham), and John Hayes (South Holland and the Deepings).

Others, including Tory Lincolnshire MPs Victoria Atkins (Louth and Horncastle), Nick Boles (Grantham and Stamford), and Matt Warman (Boston and Skegness) will be voting to stay.
