Paul Blomfield
We have said time and again that we believe in the reasonable management of migration through the application of fair rules, and I will talk about that specific issue if hon. and right hon. Members will give me the opportunity.
Paul Blomfield
I have probably been a little unbalanced, so I should give way to somebody on my side of the House.
Mike Gapes
I am grateful. Will my hon. Friend confirm that the easiest way to cut migration would be to crash the economy?
Paul Blomfield
My hon. Friend should wait and hear what I am about to say on migration.
