	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>Such estimates do not exist at the current time. The commitment to restrict access to benefits for four years is intended to ensure that EU migrants make a sustained economic contribution to the UK before they can take something out. The Government is also concerned to ensure that national welfare systems do not provide an unintended additional incentive for large migratory movements. For these reasons reforming access to benefits for mobile EU nationals is one of our priorities for the renegotiation and the Prime Minister is working with his European partners to achieve this.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 13/07/2015 13:23:33 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
