Migration Statistics

Proceeding contribution from Andrew Turner (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 June 2014. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Migration Statistics.

That is absolutely right, and I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for pointing it out.

I also welcome the Government’s acceptance of the Public Administration Committee’s recommendation to use data held by other countries. The Government are hamstrung by EU free movement legislation, which prevents their gathering information on why people from EU countries are coming to the UK and how long they intend to stay.
