Proceeding contribution from David Ward (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on Immigration.


Immigration

I think that we all accept what the right hon. Gentleman has said about immigration from outside the EU and about how immigration from within the EU is not controllable, but does he not agree that the behaviour of many Governments towards some of their own citizens—principally the Roma —in some parts of Europe is increasing the pressure on them to leave those countries and come here, because we treat them a good deal better than their own countries do?
