Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what controls within EU treaties have been exercised by the Government on freedom of movement since the Lisbon Treaty came into force.
This question was answered on 19th January 2017
The free movement of people is provided for in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Free Movement Directive. These set out the EU law rights of entry and residence in another EU Member State. This and certain Court of Justice decisions have been implemented in the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006.
