9:19PM - Leave: British sovereignty is undermined by EU
Andrea Leadsom says it is "the truth" that 60% of Britain's laws are made in the EU, which has five presidents. She asks: "Can anyone name them?"
She says there are 10,000 EU officials who earn more than the British prime minister.
She adds that on more than 70 occasions Britain has been outvoted on setting new regulations.
Boris Johnson adds: "I think we’ve heard enough from Project Fear over the last couple of weeks, I really do.
"They go on and on about the single market … Since January 1993 there have been 27 other countries not in the EU that have done better than the UK at exporting goods into the single market.
"The best place of us is to be out of this morass, this supreme legal system. I’m afraid Sadiq Khan is completely wrong. The European Court of Justice is the supreme legal authority in our country."
9:21PM - 'The EU has outgrown its roots'
Gisela Stuart says: "I just don't accept that there is a trade off between trade and democracy ... what we've got now is an institution that has utterly outgrown its roots which were noble... the real difference was the introduction of the euro.
"They have to sort out their problems and the best way for us is to trade with the world don't be this inward looking bloc and above all you take back control over all the decision you have made .we are one in 28 with another 5 countries joining ..we will become increasing insignificant so lets take back control."
9:22PM - 'Nothing patriotic about Brexit'
Frances O'Grady, the TUC's general secretary, says "there is nothing patriotic" about voting for Brexit.
"I'm proud to be British but there is nothing patriotic about a lack of a plan as to what even would happen if we came out there's nothing patriotic about putting people's jobs at risk," she says.
9:29PM - Ruth Davidson: 'They've lied and you deserve the truth'
"Even Boris Johnson doesn't think there's going to be a United States of Europe. And I think there's a real question here that you're being asked to make a decision that's irreversible we cant change it, we wake up on Friday and we don't like it, and we're being sold it on a lie because they lied about the cost of Europe, they lied about Turkey's entrance to Europe, they lied about the European army because we've got a veto for that they put that in their leaflets and they've lied about this here tonight too and its not good enough you deserve the truth you deserve the truth."
9:33PM - Sadiq loses his cool
Sadiq Khan loses it (a little), saying: "Stay and fight don't quit! Why are you a quitter? We're better than that! We can do it! Be proud!"
9:38PM - EU is 'a failed state'
Over on the other side of the arena, Diane James, deputy chairman of Ukip, says the EU has become "a failed state".
Asked about Barack Obama's recent comments about Britain being "at the back of the queue" for trade deals if it leaves the EU, she says: "I'm not particularly interested in what President Obama says because he won't be president in a few months time."
