lpv:spoken text	"The EU approach is generally unhelpful in these matters. A standardised, EU-wide application procedure for work and residence permits would make it more difficult for the British Government to control our borders and could lead to an increase in the number of illegal immigrants who enter the UK via our European neighbours. This report would also grant non-Europeans access to UK benefits, such as pensions, education and vocational training, and some of our social services. It will also make it more complicated for non-Europeans to apply for a UK work permit, which will, in due course, make it more difficult for the UK to recruit the highly skilled, non-Europeans it may need in critical parts of the economy. I have always said that immigration policy must remain a UK Government competency, and I strongly oppose any move towards a one-size-fits-all EU immigration policy. Our national security, prosperity and cohesion are my prime concerns. I voted against the report."@en1
