Public Administration Select Committee Report on Migration Statistics
26th July, 2013
Commenting on the report, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said:
"Better statistics would, of course, be helpful. But blunt instruments have their uses. The immigration target has been vital in turning around immigration policy which has already resulted in a reduction of approximately 100,000 in net migration. The exact figure may not be precise but there is no doubt that this is a major achievement."
