I did say that the EU will have something to say about this - they didn't waste much time:
"Migrant rules could be blocked
EU officials have threatened to block David Cameron's crackdown on migrants benefits. They warned that his proposals, including restrictions on housing, health and unemployment support, must comply with EU free movement rules.
Under the PM's plans there will be a shake-up of council housing rules in order to keep immigrants off waiting lists for at least two years and possibly five. However, some local government experts have warned if migrant families are not allowed council housing they may have to be dealt with as homeless, which could be more expensive.
The Daily Express notes that last year 32,000 of the 360,000 available council homes went to foreigners. Meanwhile, a study by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research have accused the Prime Minister of ignoring evidence that shows most Eastern European migrants pay in more to public finances than they take out. Separately, an article in the FT explores Britain, the Balkans and benefit tourism.

Why can't the EU let each country make their own rules ?
