The Cross Party Group on Balanced Migration today threw their weight behind an e-petition launched by Migration Watch UK calling on the government to get net immigration down from 240,000 last year to something like 50,000 a year.
The co-Chairmen, Frank Field MP and Nicholas Soames MP, said: “We warmly welcome this petition. It gives people the chance that they have never had before to express their views to Parliament and to secure a debate.”
The petition is available
here.
