Closed benefit funding

Closed on

The free movement of EC workers brings benefits to workers, companies, institutions and governments. The resentment and ill-feeling generated by benefit claimants could be replaced by welcome and appreciation if Social Security benefits for migrant workers were paid from central EU funding. Instead of taking money from UK tax-payers, benefit claimants would be bringing money into the country.
The UK government must demand that the EC fund all Social Security payments for migrant workers.
