Court of Justice of the European Union: Comprehensive Sickness Insurance

Baroness Hamwee Excerpts

Tuesday 24th May 2022 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Penn (Con)]

I am very happy to make that commitment to the noble Lord. I agree with him that there are more details to this case than I have been able to provide today. When we are in a position to have a more detailed discussions, I would be happy to arrange it.

[Baroness Hamwee (LD)]

Will the Government liaise with those who have been affected—stakeholders, if you like—so that the Government are thoroughly informed of the impacts they have felt over the years, including deportation, inability to access benefits and so on, so that they have a complete picture?

[Baroness Penn (Con)]

I reassure the noble Baroness that the Government will indeed want to have the complete picture when it comes to the impact of this judgment and its implications. I am sure that will include hearing from those who have been impacted directly by it.
