Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords].


Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords]

Free movement, and its relationship to trade and the free market, is an important element of our membership of the EU. We have taken action on new member states to ensure that, through the workers registration scheme—which the Opposition opposed—we are clear about being able to count and tackle benefit entitlement. However, we should maintain that significant ability to travel freely and work in the EU.
