Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 October 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Immigration Controls.
Immigration Controls
Does my hon. Friend agree that countries such as Estonia, with which I am very familiar, have a migrant population who come to this country to make an economic contribution and to learn skills but with the intention of sharing those skills and that wealth back in their own country? They do not intend to abandon their home country, but to take advantage of the free flow that my hon. Friend has rightly highlighted as an advantage of the European Union, for the collective benefit of us all.
