Exit Checks Needed To Stop Immigration Guesstimates – Huhne

Commenting on today’s ONS figures on immigration, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:

“Immigration continues to rise but its benefits have been undermined by bureaucratic incompetence, which has shattered public confidence in the system.

“The truth is these figures are complete guesstimates – since the Tories and Labour abolished exit checks no one has any idea how many people are living in Britain. They must be reintroduced immediately.

“We need a system that attracts migrants to areas where they are most needed, which is why the Liberal Democrats have proposed a regional points-based system for immigration.”
