Commenting, Alp Mehmet, Vice Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said:
The committee received a range of evidence but has seemingly failed to take sufficient account of the extent to which the public still wants EU immigration to be reduced. Worryingly the Committee appears to believe that immigration should be negotiated as part of the wider trade talks. This is not only woefully out of touch with public sentiment but would also fail to respect the referendum result.
