UK MP warns against immigration 'arms race'

A senior UK MP has warned the leaders of the main UK political parties against getting involved in an 'arms race' in immigration policy. Keith Vaz MP, the chairman of the influential Home Affairs Committee, has said that the leaders should, instead cooperate to face 'one of the most challenging issues our nation faces'.

Mr Vaz expressed his views in the pages of the Sunday Express, a British newspaper which runs stories and comment pieces weekly about the perils of immigration.

Mr Vaz said that the leaders of all three major parties should 'listen to the British people'. Mr Vaz, the Labour MP for Leicester East, himself an immigrant who came to the UK aged six in 1965 with his Indian parents, says that the British people have been 'incredibly tolerant [of immigration] in the past but they cannot stand abuse of the system. What is needed is not an arms race on immigration policy among our party leaders but a new consensus…Messrs Cameron, Clegg and Miliband should now sit down together and talk about this issue' in order not to give fringe parties an 'opportunity to fill the vacuum'.
