Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on Rights and Protection of Victims.
Rights and Protection of Victims
I thank my hon. Friend for giving way as I have not been here for the whole debate. One thing that concerns me and that exacerbates all the problems is the free movement of people within the European Union. If we had borders that were enforced, criminals would not be able to travel so freely through the European Union and individuals going on holiday would be more conscious of the fact that they were going to different jurisdictions with different standards and levels of health protection and be more wary and concerned. Above all, traffickers in human beings, particularly in children, would have a more difficult time if we had internal borders.
