HC Deb 02 February 1973 vol 849 cc479-80W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the present arrangements between the United Kingdom and other members of the European Economic Community for United Kingdom citizens, including those who have no right of entry to the United Kingdom, to exercise in relation to other member countries rights comparable to the rights proposed for nationals of those other member countries in Part V of House of Commons Paper No. 81, published 25th January 1973.

Mr. Lane

The arrangements described in Part V of HC 81 derive from our obligations under the EEC Treaty and relevant subordinate legislation. These obligations are also binding on other member States, which admit United Kingdom nationals on broadly the same basis. Only those within the definition of United Kingdom national in the Treaty of Accession have the right of free movement in other Community countries.
