Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of figures published by the Office for National Statistics which show that, in the past year, around 95 per cent of new workers were born outside the UK.

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.

Immigrants who have come to the UK to work have brought significant benefits to Britain – we are a tolerant, welcoming nation encouraging the brightest and best to come to our shores. That will always be the case.

But it’s clear that there is no consent in Britain for uncontrolled migration from Europe.

It is important to note that those who hold British Citizenship can also be classed as non UK born.
