HC Deb 21 May 1992 vol 208 c208W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will propose changes to the immigration rules to accommodate the free movement provisions of the European Economic Community/European Free Trade Association treaty.

Mr. Charles Wardle

I envisage doing so during the second half of this year. Subject to satisfactory progress towards ratification by the parties concerned, the target date for the European economic area agreement to come into force is 1 January 1993.
