In relation to the MAC’s Review of the transitional restrictions on access of Bulgarian and Romanian nationals to the UK labour market, Sir Andrew Green said:
“The MAC have got this absolutely right. It would be intolerable to have another inflow of East Europeans when unemployment is running at 2.5 million.”
Commenting on the MAC report on Settlement rights of migrants in Tier 1 and Tier 2, Sir Andrew Green said:
“This is a critical step in the right direction. Salary must be the key. Breaking the almost automatic link is vital if net migration is to be reduced to a level which will keep the UK population below 70 million, as demanded by our e-petition”
