The Government do not routinely produce forecasts or estimates of future levels of migration from individual countries. The difficulty in producing a reliable forecast of likely levels of migration is in this instance accentuated by the fact that the United Kingdom is not the only member state that will be required to lift existing labour market restrictions on Bulgarian and Romanian nationals on 31 December 2013.

Rather than produce speculative projections, the Government is focusing on work to cut out abuse of free movement and address pull factors, such as access to benefits and public services.

Thank you again for writing.

I've replied as follows :-

Deputy PM Clegg has admitted that the Government has seen estimated figures of the numbers of Romanians and Bulgarians expected to come to the UK. Is Theresa in favour or not of releasing these estimates to the public ?
They dont know how immigrants are here now so how are they going to know the answer to that one.?
