Mr Lidington
The Prime Minister will make his position clear at the end of the negotiations. It would seem slightly odd to embark on a process of negotiations and declare at the beginning what the outcome was going to be.
Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight) (Con)
Will the Minister tell us whether we or Europe should decide on how many migrants come to the UK?
Mr Lidington
We are seeking a situation in which we have tougher rules against the abuse of freedom of movement by criminals, fraudsters and others. We also want to reduce significantly the pull factor that our welfare system provides at present.
