UK 'needs true immigration data'

UK Immigration - What is True Data?

Excerpts from a recent News Story on BBC

Barbara Roche said an organisation should monitor and publish figures and be independent of government.

She said this would counter "so-called independent" groups like Migration Watch, which she described as an anti-immigration body posing as independent.

UK Immigration - Conservatives' Views: 'Immigrants threaten British values'

ARE MIGRANTS A THREAT TO THE UK?

Following are are excerpts from a recent news article published on TimesOnline.

DAVID DAVIS gave warning yesterday that Britain’s traditional values were at risk from the scale of immigration into the country and promised substantial cuts if the Tories won power.

Mr Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary, told the Conservative conference that Britain was already the most densely populated big country in Europe and the level of immigration was far too high. Immigrants could fill six new cities the size of Birmingham over the next three decades, he said, and pledged to take action “before it is too late”.

“A Conservative government will substantially cut immigration into Britain. Uncontrolled immigration endangers the values that we in Britain rightly treasure,” he said.

Within a month of taking office a new points-based system of immigration based on the Australian model would be introduced and an annual limit set below the current figure.

UK Immigration - New addition to the shortage occupations list

With immediate effect, following representations from the Department of Health, all Salaried General Dental Practitioners, Salaried Assistant Dentists and Vocational Dental Practitioners employed in the healthcare sector will be considered under the shortage occupation criteria.

This would mean that if you belong to this sector your employers will find it easy to appy for a Work Permit for you.
