Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister – in the House of Commons at 11:30 am on 3 September 2014.

Does my right hon. Friend agree that the sooner we adopt a visa-only system for all foreign nationals, including those from the EU—thus allowing a sovereign Parliament to decide who settles here—the better?
