Proceeding contribution from Gwyn Prosser (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

No group of people knows more about the effectiveness of the Government’s immigration and asylum measures than my constituents in Dover, Deal and the wider east Kent area. They have seen a dramatic reduction in illegal immigration and a huge fall in unfounded asylum claims. Can my right hon. Friend tell them that nothing in the amended treaty will undermine any of those measures and risk returning us to the shambles we inherited from the Tories?
