Statement by the Co-Chairmen of the Cross-Party Group following the Conservative Party Spring Conference
1st March 2010
Frank Field MP and Nicholas Soames MP said: “The British people need more than words on immigration, they need commitment. So far, all our political leaders have chosen to avoid specific commitments. For example, David Cameron said in Brighton that immigration has been “too high” and “needs to be cut”. What he didn’t say was by how much. Nor was there any mention of immigration by Gordon Brown at the Labour party’s Welsh Conference last weekend.

According to Government figures, immigration at current levels will add about 7 million to the population of England by 2031 � equivalent to 7 cities the size of Birmingham.
In 2009 England is expected to overtake Holland as the most crowded country in Europe.
According to Government statistics, a new home for immigrants needs to be built every six minutes.
Immigration directly added a million people to the UK's population in just five years - 2003 to 2007.
There was a net inflow of 2.3 million people to the UK between 1991 and 2006. 8% came from the new East European members of the EU.
