Immigration Controls

Proceeding contribution from James Paice (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 October 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Immigration Controls.
Why do the Government continue to confuse the seasonal agricultural workers scheme, under which all the students go home because of the sponsorship arrangements, with the wider issues on immigration? Is she aware that because of the Government's determination to wind the scheme down to try to appear tough on immigration, over £40 million worth of fruit and vegetables have been unpicked in this country and left to rot in the fields?
