Following is comment attributable to Sir Andrew Green, Chairman, MigrationwatchUK | Migration Watch UK

“This Commission has completely missed the wider picture. Our society now faces only two choices – either we integrate or we disintegrate. The present government has encouraged foreign immigration of over 2 million people without thought to the social consequences. Immigrants are now arriving at nearly one a minute and will require 200 new homes every day for the next 20 years. Until these numbers are brought down, belated efforts at integration are doomed.”
