Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on Immigration.
Immigration
The hon. Gentleman's last comment—that the reason many British people have gone around the world and settled elsewhere is because Britain is overcrowded—is factually wrong. The parts of the country from which many people left—Scotland and Wales—are the least crowded. In fact, they mostly went because there were no jobs in this country or, originally, because of religious persecution. It is nothing to do with overcrowding.
