EU Council

Proceeding contribution from David Nuttall (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 January 2016. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council.

The Conservative party manifesto said:

“We will insist that EU migrants who want to claim tax credits and child benefit must live here and contribute to our country for a minimum of four years.”

Although I am clear that in the referendum I will vote to leave the European Union, many of my constituents are waiting to see the outcome of the renegotiation. I would be grateful if my right hon. Friend could explain whether we are still insisting on that idea, or is it now simply a basis for negotiation?
