"Madam President, I do not have the statistics to hand but I have read several reports since 2005 and it is there for people to see in the United Kingdom.
We can see this. We could see in 2006 and 2007 the demand on social housing, the demand on our health service and the demand on social security. Child benefit is paid for every child in the UK, and there were examples of workers from Eastern bloc countries claiming this money for children still resident in the Eastern bloc.
That was the demand on British taxpayers. There is obviously an economic benefit from migrant workers to the UK. The UK has benefited from migration since the Second World War, from our own old Empire and Commonwealth countries. We need a certain level of immigration, but it needs to be controlled immigration under our terms, not your terms."@en1
