The Prime Minister’s Immigration Speech

Commenting on David
Cameron’s speech on immigration this afternoon, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman
of Migration Watch UK, said: 

“It is surely only fair that
everybody should contribute to the welfare system before they can draw
benefits. The devil is often in the detail but this speech sets out a broad
 agenda for tightening access to the welfare state and it is the right
one.”
