Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on Immigration.
Immigration
Having heard many confessions in my time, I am not going to give a lengthy mea culpa. We have already said that immigration was too high, which was in part because we got the element resulting from countries joining the European Union wrong and did not introduce a points-based system soon enough. In answer to the hon. Gentleman's question, yes of course we think that immigration has been too high and that it should be lower.
