In the run up to the 2005 election, Michael Howard, the Conservative leader raised the issue of immigration as a cornerstone of his manifesto. He promised to:
* set an annual limit to immigration, including a quota for asylum seekers.
* put in place 24-hour security at ports to prevent illegal immigration.
* introduce an Australian-style points system for work permits – giving priority to people with the skills Britain needs.
* tighten the immigration rules to stop sham marriages.
* together our proposals will lead to a substantial reduction in the number of people settling in the UK.
All very sensible one might think. But within hours, a European Union spokesman popped up to point out that this would be illegal under European Law. Yet only three months before, the Prime Minister solemnly assured the nation that Britain still had ‘complete control’ over its immigration policies. Indeed, we enjoyed ‘the best of both worlds’ because ‘unless we opt in (to European rules) we are not affected by them’.
A red faced Downing Street spokesman was eventually forced to admit that in October 2004, former Home Secretary David Blunkett signed away Britain’s veto over asylum, immigration and border control policies and over the past five years Britain has signed up to three EU directives designed to create a common European asylum system. These effectively cede control to Brussels over where asylum seekers should make their claims, how they should be treated, and how they qualify as refugees.
Michael Howard seized on Downing Street’s admission and accused Mr Blair of ‘pulling the wool’ over voters’ eyes by giving away powers over asylum ‘by stealth’. He vowed to ‘bring back control over asylum from Brussels to Britain – where it belongs’. But of course, he lost the election.
