Restrictions on immigrant workers from Bulgaria & Romania

The Tories are calling for restrictions on immigrant workers from Bulgaria and Romania ahead of them joining the EU.

Party immigration spokesman Damian Green said ministers had to learn from the "unprecedented numbers" who arrived in the UK after the last EU expansion.

Trade Secretary Alistair Darling said migration would be "properly managed."
He said no date had yet been set for Bulgaria and Romania's accession but that when it was there would be no "open door" policy.

It comes as a poll for the Sunday Times found 77% of people wanted the government to set a strict limit on the number of immigrants allowed into Britain each year.
