Meeting details

Will EU ‘immigration’ Into the UK lead to UK exit from the EU?
(Monday, March 2, 2015)

Meeting type:Public Meeting
Date:Monday, March 2, 2015
Time:6.30pm - 8.15pm
Description:

 


If the UK leaves the European Union (EU), leading reasons are likely to be because the case for EU free movement of people and the policy responses to it have fallen short. Should free movement within the EU be considered similarly to immigration from outside the EU? What policy responses can help manage free movement and immigration? How is the public case for free movement and immigration best made? Are the Cameron proposals to tighten EU citizens’ eligibility for benefit payments consistent with EU Treaties? If the Conservatives form the next government, and as other Member States are unlikely to agree a renegotiation of UK membership as currently proposed, is the UK sleepwalking towards BREXIT? What are the prospects for mobilising EU 27 citizens resident in the UK and UK expatriates resident elsewhere in the EU to vote in a possible UK referendum?


 


This timely session will involve LDEG, LIBG, Liberal Democrat members, European activists, diplomats, journalists, and other opinion formers who are interested in the issues under discussion

Alas, I have a speaking engagement in Sutton that evening, but I hope it all goes well.
