"70 MILLION IS TOO MANY" cross party parliamentary group publish declaration on immigration to the UK
London
By Charles Kelly
Further calls for curbs on immigration - “70 million too many” say Cross Party Group on Balanced Migration, which includes anti-immigration campaigner Frank Field MP.
The Declaration has been signed by 20 members of both Houses of Parliament last week, including former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, and former Speaker, Baroness Boothroyd.
This Declaration marks an important moment in the debate about immigration. For the first time, a large number of Parliamentarians from both major parties together with distinguished Cross Bench Peers have come together to publicly urge Gordon Brown and David Cameron to place in this year’s party election manifestos a firm commitment to do what is necessary to prevent our population reaching 70 million by 2029.
Immigration Matters points out that the UK still needs immigration, combined with the control mechanism provided by a points-based system, to bring in new blood to both boost the working population and to fill jobs such as care for the elderly and sick.
Recent Government figures reveal that ageing Britain will see a seven-fold hike in citizens over the age of 100 – up from 11,000 to 80,000 by 2033. Full story…
