Independent think-tank says EU exit will trim 100,000 By Alan Oakley
Migration Watch, an immigration research organisation and thinktank that describes itself as independent but is viewed by many as an anti-immigration pressure group, has published a report examining for the first time what a post “Brexit” (Britain exiting the European Union) immigration regime might look like and estimat-
ing its likely effect on net migration to the UK.
In it the lobbyist group says that leaving the European Union would cut UK immigration numbers by more than 100,000 – a figure that would be music to the ears of David Cameron, whose efforts to limit net immigration to “tens of thousands” is failing disastrously but who is nevertheless keen for Britain to remain in Europe.
David Cameron has made no secret of his desire for Britain to remain part of the EU
The group estimates that net migration from the EU – which is the difference between the number of people entering and exiting the UK – would drop from 180,000 to 65,000 per year if the nation were to introduce work permits for EU citizens.
Migration Watch describes immigration as ‘a natural part of an open economy’ and claims to ‘welcome it,’ but only to a certain level.
