Immigration: Labour Party Broadcast

Commenting on the Labour Party Broadcast, Sir Andrew
Green, Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said:

“Ed Miliband’s proposals could be useful in curbing

the EU. He is wrong to imply that immigration on this scale is good for
Britain. It is high time Labour indicated whether they agree that a limit on
immigration is now essential.
