Board of Deputies reacts to resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron

Board of Deputies Chief Executive Gillian Merron has reacted to the decision of Prime Minister David Cameron to resign following defeat in the EU referendum.

She said: “We want to extend our community’s heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister David Cameron for his service of the country and his friendship to our community. His legacy will be as someone who did not run away from difficult questions, but put them to the British people to decide.

“We will continue to work with the Prime Minister and his government over the next months, and will of course continue to build on that strong relationship with his eventual successor.”
