Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

The present economic situation has been mentioned. I was recently in Poland, which is in the European Union and totally different from this country. Some Pols coming here had a job and had been told that they would be all right, but after two weeks their construction firm had collapsed. They had already paid their worker registration fee, although are not talking about that. There is now such difficulty in obtaining employment that it would be totally unfair to insist on someone being in continuous employment before going on to citizenship.
