Proceeding contribution from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on Points-Based Immigration System.
Points-Based Immigration System
As a Back Bencher, I do not make policy. The Minister seems to imply that it is impossible to get the figure lower. I point out to him the figure that I have just cited, which he agrees with, of 591,000; that figure was 327,000 in the year that the Government took office. It would not be a bad thing if we got back to the situation that the Government inherited, but changed through their polices.
