IMMIGRATION
12 January 2005
Once again a report has highlighted that up to 1million illegal immigrants are living in the UK. The latest report is based on the practice in other countries where a comparison is made between the numbers who come forward in amnesties with the numbers shown on official records.
If the same ratio applies to the UK as that of Spain and Italy, then the number of illegal immigrants in the UK could be as many as 1million. The estimate of 1million is consistent with other estimates based on other criteria.
A senior immigration officer has admitted that there could be 2 million immigrants working for gangmasters.
