Immigration Controls

I very much agree with the Home Secretary's arguments, but I ask her to be little bit careful in talking about language because 800,000 British citizens currently live in Spain, and at the last count 17 of them spoke Spanish. One of the most worrying aspects of this whole debate is the extraordinary adoption, by the fluent French-speaking shadow Home Secretary, of President Jacques Chirac's anti-Polish policy of limiting workers from the new Europe. Will my right hon. Friend say that the Poles who have been here have contributed to our economy? They are going home now, but this anti-Polish stuff from the shadow Home Secretary is a disgrace.
