Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on Judiciary and Fundamental Rights.

Judiciary and Fundamental Rights

The hon. Gentleman has hit the nail on the head, because there will be a massive expansion of the common external frontier with Croatia's accession, as there was with the accession of Bulgaria and Romania. One of the biggest challenges facing the EU and the UK—this is where everybody comes, because London is the biggest, most cosmopolitan city in Europe—is the lack of border controls on the EU boundary. The demands on accession countries to have secure borders are far too weak.
