Public Administration Select Committee Report On Migration Statistics

Commenting
on the report, Sir Andrew
Green, Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said:

“Better statistics would, of course, be helpful. But
blunt instruments have their uses. The immigration target has been vital in
turning around immigration policy which has already resulted in a reduction of
approximately 100,000 in net migration. The exact figure may not be precise but
there is no doubt that this is a major achievement.”
