The Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has proposed that EU migrants should be banned from claiming welfare payments for up to two years after arriving in Britain to stop them exploiting the benefits system, according to the Sunday Times.
The shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves has said the Government is playing "catch up" after Labour proposed measures to "ensure people are coming to UK to contribute, not just to claim benefits".
"We've said that the EU framework needs reform, including to look again at social security and Labour market rules, but that means serious proposals and effective influence in Europe, not empty bluster", she added.
