Yesterday Peter Lilley joined members of the Debating Society to introduce the motion ‘This House would tighten immigration procedures’. The debate was unusually partisan with a strong presence from both the Conservatives and Labour. Peter argued that in fact the economic benefits of mass immigration are marginal and some studies suggest that it is a net disadvantage. He has written in the past about the issue for the Centre for Policy Studies which you can access here. Deirdre Alden, Edgbaston Parliamentary candidate also attended the debate and met Mr Lilley. We were delighted to have both of them at the event.

Indeed. Think of a number – any number – between 7 and 9.

2 goals a game was my strike rate in school footy. Might need to lend a hand next year.
