Boeing is choosing London for its new headquarters

Boeing will be based in London regardless of the outcome of the in-out vote in June proving that membership of Europe is not as crucial to business as stay campaigners claim.

A spokesman for the company said the UK market is critical for Boeing.

Sir Michael Arthur, the president of Boeing UK & Ireland, added: "The prosperous partnership between our country and our company goes from strength to strength.

“The whole Boeing team is committed to the UK, our customers and our partners for the long-term."

Leave campaigners said the decision is a massive vote of confidence in Britain and its ability to be the cent of global business.

Jill Seymour MEP, the UKIP transport spokesperson, said: "This is a massive vote of confidence in the UK, and shows that the referendum result will have no bearing on our importance in the world’s economy in the eyes of our biggest investors."
