Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2016. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Next Steps in Leaving the European Union.
Next Steps in Leaving the European Union
I agree with the Secretary of State that we need barrier-free access to the single market—no tariff barriers and no non-tariff barriers—but we all know there is a tension between delivering that and restricting free movement. On an all-party visit last month, a German employers’ organisation suggested to us that it might be possible to square the circle by agreeing a redefinition of free movement, so that it applied only to people with a firm job offer in the UK. Are Ministers going to pursue that possibility?
