About the Event:

In their election manifesto for 2010, the Conservatives are set to propose the introduction of a dedicated Border Police Force as well as an annual limit on the number of economic migrants from outside the EU permitted to work in Britain. Damian Green discussed these and other Conservative policy proposals in the context of current political, economic and demographic shifts both in the United Kingdom and across the European Union. In a wide-ranging speech, he listed the Conservatives’ three priorities in the area of immigration as strengthening borders, improving information exchange, and resolving issues in the system for asylum-seekers.
