Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Exportable Benefits.
Exportable Benefits
The reason why I tried to intervene earlier was to ask the Minister about the Court ruling. I have two questions: first, I think that the Minister said that if the Department were to reinstate benefits from the time the relevant people moved abroad, or from when they lost them on moving abroad, it would in some way breach European or domestic law. I am not quite certain which aspect of law would be breached. Secondly, what is the Government's view of the ECJ ruling? Did it change European law or simply set out what European law had been all the time?
