Speech in Westminster Hall - Mon 22 Jan 2018
Leaving the European Union

"The hon. Gentleman makes a wise point, which shows the danger of standing up and trying to make a speech on the spot. I agree that discontent with the system and with politics has made people sign the petition. Arguably that also explains things such as the Trump phenomenon, which …..."

Leaving the European Union

"I completely sympathise and agree with what the hon. Lady says; I have found the same thing. There is a small business called Mooch on Northfield Avenue, near where I live. It sells knick-knacks and gifts—a bit like Paperchase, but a small-business equivalent—and it opened just before 23 June. When …..."

"T6. Yesterday, the EU warned that the Secretary of State risks damaging trust in the negotiations with his contradictory statements, so I wondered whether he could regain some trust by telling us what the difference is between an impact assessment and a sectoral analysis...."

UK Nationals in the EU: Rights

"My hon. Friend is describing convincingly this Government’s catalogue of errors involving leaks and letters wrongly sent. Regarding discrimination, is he aware of the figures released by the House of Commons Library? In 2011, 49% of British citizens living elsewhere in the EU were over the age of 50, compared …..."

UK Nationals in the EU: Rights

"The figures from the Library said that 21% of UK citizens in the rest of the EU are over 65, so that is not a majority. The 49% figure is for over-50s, who may be economically active and contributing, paying taxes and all those things...."

UK Nationals in the EU: Rights

"What does my hon. Friend make of an email that I had from David Hulmes, an ex-constituent, now in Lyon in France, who says that the EU position was initially generous but seems to have hardened? The reason he gives is the settled status after Brexit, which is insulting, inhuman …..."

Written Question
Migrant Workers and National Insurance Contributions
Thursday 3rd November 2016

Asked by: Rupa Huq (Labour - Ealing Central and Acton)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what estimate his Department has made of the potential effect of the UK leaving the EU on (a) the number of EU and EEA nationals working in the UK and (b) the level of national insurance contribution receipts; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by David Jones

We are still considering carefully all of the options open to us for our new arrangements with the EU. What happens after the UK exits the EU is for negotiation. We are clear that we need to understand the impacts on the different sectors of the economy and the labour market from any changes that we make to the UK’s immigration system but we will not be giving a running commentary on our work as we approach the negotiations.
