Motion Text

That this House regrets that the honourable Member for Bexhill and Battle has chosen to bring race and immigration into the political debate about the European Union; believes that if there is a problem with Europe's external borders he should be addressing that; believes his assertion that freedom of movement for European nationals within the European Union must necessarily result in more illegal immigration to the United Kingdom is demonstrably false; and calls on him to find some other, and less irresponsible way to get his name in the papers.
