Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Accessions) Bill.
European Union (Accessions) Bill
It is more than a challenge for the trade unions. Those people will be covered by UK legislation, so they should get such things as the minimum wage. I want to consider the wider aspect of the matter. Does the hon. Gentleman believe that we should consider why France, Germany and other EU countries have decided to introduce derogations regarding people from Bulgaria, Romania and the other 10 accession countries coming to work there, while we have an open-door policy? Should we not be a little more selective about the skills that we need in this country?
