University professors probed by Lords Committee
24 October 2012
The House of Lords Home Affairs, Health and Education EU Sub-Committee will be hearing from academics from three universities on Wednesday 24 October, to talk about the EU’s Global Approach to Migration and Mobility (GAMM)
- Parliament TV: The EU's Approach to Global Migration and Mobility
- Inquiry: Global Migration and Mobility
- EU Sub-Committee F - Home Affairs, Health and Education
Witnesses
At 11am, Wednesday 24 October 2012, Committee Room 1, Palace of Westminster
- Professor Christina Boswell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh
- Professor Ronald Skeldon, Sussex Centre for Migration Research, University of Sussex
- Professor Andrew Geddes, University of Sheffield, currently on secondment to the Migration Policy Centre of the European University Institute
Issues that the witnesses are likely to be asked about include:
- areas in which EU migration policies have made the most – and least – progress;
- any impact the global economic and financial crisis may have had on European migration trends within, to and from Europe;
- whether there is any hope that Europe will be able to ‘speak with one voice’ on migration; and
- their personal views on calls to remove international students from net migration statistics
