Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.

UK Borders Bill

I am grateful to my eagle-eyed hon. Friend for noticing that the new clause has a European dimension. He is absolutely right; the elephant in the room is the fact that it refers to ““non-European Union nationals””. The fact of the matter is that our relationship with the European Union allows free movement of people, which means that we have no ability to deal with them. As my hon. Friend knows, I would wish us to be out of the European Union so that we could impose a limit. I think that he will agree that at least the proposal is a step in the right direction.
