BREAKING: EU to hold talks with Turkey over Brussels membership NEXT WEEK, Daily Express

Less than 48 hours before Thursday's historic EU referendum, it emerged EU members will meet with Ankara on June 30 to discuss a host of affairs including finance and budget.

It comes after the 28-nation bloc pledged to speed up Turkey’s membership talks as part of a controversial agreement to tackle the migrant crisis.

The latest announcement will fuel fears EU officials are trying to keep any visa deal with Turkey secret until after the historic referendum.

Turkey’s membership of the bloc has been a hot topic of the Brexit debate as critics press Mr Cameron on whether he would use Britain’s right to veto their entry or not.

Brexit supporters have said the UK faces the arrival of millions of Turks if it chose to stay in the EU.

His comments came after audience member Michael Tindale asked Mr Cameron if he would “veto the accession of Turkey into the EU”.
