UK Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jon Cruddas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on UK Borders Bill.
On the amnesty question, the Greater London authority estimates that in London alone there are some 320,000 unregularised migrants—not including dependants—many of whom will be working. If the regime is successful in clamping down on employers—I agree with my right hon. Friend’s sentiment on that—there is the possibility that we will push tens of thousands of people out of work who have no status in society, and that that will become a major public policy issue for social services and councils. What remedy might there be for that, other than an amnesty?
