Frank Field and Nicholas Soames, Co-chairs of the Cross Party Group on Balanced Migration, have spoken out over potential immigration from Romania and Bulgaria.

Commenting in response to a recent report by Migration Watch UK, they issued a statement saying: “Migration Watch UK have produced an extraordinarily serious forecast which estimates that 50,000 immigrants a year, for the next five years, will come from Romania and Bulgaria.

“Given Migration Watch UK’s excellent track record of forecasting the scale of immigration, the Cross Party Group on Balanced Migration calls on the Government to examine with urgency the impact of such numbers and how an influx on such a scale could be properly managed.

“Such an examination must include reviewing the current rules around accessing the benefits system which needs tightening so that only those that have been in the country for a substantial amount of time and have contributed through taxes would have entitlement.”
