Latest EU referendum poll of polls: Brexit and Remain neck and neck ahead of TV grilling

The Prime Minister today urged voters to "listen to the experts" about the risks to the UK of quitting the European Union, as he accused pro-Brexit campaigners - including some of his Cabinet colleagues - of lying about Britain's prospects outside the EU.

It comes as the latest YouGov rolling survey suggested the Leave campaign was just one per cent behind the Remain campaign in the polls (see above video).

In a hastily-arranged press conference in central London, the Prime Minister listed six key Vote Leave claims which he said amounted to "complete untruths".

And he accused the Brexit side of "complacency and nonchalance" about the consequences of EU withdrawal, after senior spokesmen including Justice Secretary Michael Gove suggested voters should dismiss the assessment of economic experts.

Mr Cameron said that warnings about repercussions of Brexit from experts including the World Trade Organisation, the chairman of the US Federal Reserve and the Institute for Fiscal Studies amounted to a "reality check" for voters ahead of the June 23 referendum.

The Prime Minister said: "Credible experts warning about risks to our economic security on one side and a series of assertions that turn out to be completely untrue on the other.

"A Leave campaign resorting to total untruths to con people into taking a leap in the dark. It's irresponsible and it's wrong and it's time that the Leave campaign was called out on the nonsense that they are peddling."

In the past few days alone, he said, Vote Leave had made untrue claims that Britain could be liable for future bailouts of eurozone states and could lose its rebate and its veto powers; could be forced to increase its contribution to the EU budget and be powerless to stop the creation of an EU army.

In a swipe at Vote Leave leaders including Mr Gove, he added: "They say people have had enough of hearing from experts, had enough of experts. Would you say that if you were building a bridge or if you were buying a house? I don't want an expert opinion on the mortgage, on the building survey? Of course not.

"Why would you say it about one of the most important and complex decisions that this country will have to take in our lifetime?"

Appearing on Sky News's EU: In Or Out? last week Mr Gove said he was "glad" that a wide range of independent economic organisations were against Brexit, because they had been wrong on subjects including the global economic crisis and the euro in the past.

The Prime Minister rejected suggestions that his intervention was a sign of panic over polls suggesting public opinion is swinging towards a Leave vote.

But he said he wanted to ensure that voters did not make their decision on the basis of incorrect information.

Mr Cameron will later join Ukip leader Nigel Farage to face a grilling from a TV audience in a live ITV referendum special, though the two men will not debate with one another.

On the final day for registration to vote in the referendum, Mr Cameron urged Britons to make sure they do not miss out on their chance to have their say in what he said would be their only chance to decide on the UK's EU membership.

Ukip MP and Vote Leave campaigner Douglas Carswell accused the Remain campaign of being in a "blind panic".

He said: "David Cameron's renegotiation was a failure - no-one believes he got a deal worth the paper it was written on. Now people are rejecting his campaign of fear.

"The Prime Minister says we need a proper debate about the facts but he is too chicken to take on anyone from the Vote Leave campaign head to head."

Mr Cameron's comments came after Brexit campaigners claimed that laws from Brussels meant British judges were unable to return foreign offenders to their EU countries of origin.

Vote Leave published a dossier of 50 criminals - including Learco Chindamo, who murdered London headmaster Philip Lawrence in 1995 - that the UK has been unable to deport.

Justice Minister Dominic Raab said: "Free movement of people allows unelected judges in the rogue European Court to decide who we can and can't deport. This puts British families at risk."

But Immigration Minister James Brokenshire said the Prime Minister's deal with Brussels gave the UK greater control over deportation and warned that Brexit would deprive the UK of the ability to use the European Arrest Warrant.
