HC Deb 22 October 1992 vol 212 cc374-5W
24. Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will discuss with the European Commission the implications of article 8A of the treaty of Rome for frontier controls after 1 January 1993.

Mr. Charles Wardle

The Government's views on article 8A are well known to the Commission, and vice Z versa. In my right hon. and learned Friend's discussion with Vice-President Bangemann, however, we have agreed to concentrate on practical measures to make it as easy as possible for EC nationals to enter and leave the United Kingdom. My right hon. and learned Friend will report to the House in due course on the outcome of these discussions.
