HC Deb 13 May 1971 vol 817 c146W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will give a detailed list of the factors, other than the level of money wages, which affect the movement of workers between Great Britain and the countries of the Six.

Mr. Dudley Smith

It is not possible to give an exhaustive list of factors affecting the movement of workers between Great Britain and the Countries of the European Economic Community, but the availability of job opportunities, the level of fringe benefits, the mobility of workers and the cost of living in individual countries are clearly important, in addition to the level of money wages.
