§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what advice he gives Commonwealth citizens resident in the United Kingdom who are concerned about their eligibility under the European Economic Community provisions for free movement of labour.
§ Mr. SharplesThese provisions apply to nationals as defined by member States and recognised by the Community. The definition of a "United Kingdom national" for this purpose is currently being discussed within the Commission of the European Economic Community. But it is likely that, in addition to those citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies who have that status by virtue of their connection with the United Kingdom, Commonwealth citizens who have registered as citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies would be included.
