Europe needs more migration to boost growth, says David Cameron and allies
In a joint letter with 11 other conservative leaders, the Prime Minister urges greater labour mobility within the European Union to help people move abroad to places with the best job opportunities. Mr Cameron has claimed that mass immigration in Britain has led to discomfort and promised voters that he will bring immigration down to the tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from Eastern Europe have settled in Britain since countries such as Poland joined the European Union. However, Mr Cameron is now leading a coalition of countries claiming that Europe should have a more integrated open labour market. The European leaders, including the prime ministers of Italy, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Latvia, want migrants to settle where there are jobs amid high unemployment rates across the continent.
