The migration thing hasn't changed since the last referendum.


New countries have joined the EU so the impact is more significant.


Westminster agreed to that in advance.


When or as JJ would say Link please.


Treaty of Accession, 2003. Signed by Tony Blair for the UK.


So not subject to any referendum


Oh, well spotted. If you look very hard, you might even begin to notice
that nobody suggested it had been.

Now my answer on the NHS seems to have got lost in the ether so I will
repeat it.
The EU is currently in negotiation with the US on a new trade deal.


Umm, yes, and...?

The EU is including in there opening up European Health services to
international (US) competition and that will include the NHS. So a
fundamental aspect of the NHS may no longer be a solely UK decision.


In case you hadn't noticed, the NHS is already free to sign up to
international deals - and already has. So, basically, no change.

But international companies cannot currently demand the right to bid for
NHS contracts. That would change.
