Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

The Prime Minister will recollect telling us before May 2004 that between 8,000 and 13,000 EU accession migrants would enter the UK. He was only out by a factor of 10: more than 200,000 people have entered in that two-year period. Most of those people are decent and law-abiding, but not all of them are. Why have his Government specifically absented themselves from the EU pilot project that began this month to share across Europe information on the criminal records of EU citizens?
