Proceeding contribution from Peter Atkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Exportable Benefits.
Exportable Benefits
I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing the debate and on the work he has done over a considerable length of time in sticking up for the unfortunate British citizens who have been so shamefully and dishonourably treated by the Government. Several of my constituents reside in Spain on doctor's orders—my hon. Friend mentioned that earlier—because living in a warmer climate helps their disability. Recently, with the collapse of the pound against the euro, their financial situation has become much more urgent and that has added to the trouble faced by my constituents, my hon. Friend's constituents and those of all other Members.
