"Madam President, while I acknowledge the concerns that some people have about the impact of migration, the standard of debate on this issue during our referendum campaign in the UK has become highly distasteful. Those who argue we should leave the Union are deliberately confusing three issues: first, control of our borders. Leave campaigners know we still control our borders, which is why Vote Leave wrote to the Home Secretary asking her to refuse permission for Marine Le Pen to enter the UK to help them campaign.
Secondly, asylum for those who need it, the central theme of this debate. Here the UK has rejected our responsibility of acting in solidarity with the countries under most pressure. We should be working with them to protect those fleeing conflicts for which we are more responsible than most as a result of our disastrous policy interventions in the Middle East.
Thirdly, free movement. This is a crucial part of the single market on which our economy depends. Leaving it would damage businesses and households and limit opportunities for thousands of British people who live, work and retire across the EU."@en1
