Nine in 10 babies born in parts of Britain have a foreign parent
Iain Duncan Smith vows to end 'something for nothing' culture for migrants as official figures reveal that nine in 10 babies born in parts of Britain have a foreign parent.
Almost nine in 10 babies born in parts of Britain have at least one foreign-born parent, official figures have revealed for the first time.
The Office for National Statistics disclosed that in 2012 more than 80 per cent of babies born in three London boroughs had either one or both parents born outside the UK.
Across London, nearly seven in 10 babies had at least one non-British father or mother, while across England and Wales the figure was one in three.
The figures were published amid concerns that hundreds of thousands of migrants from Romania and Bulgaria could come to Britain when restrictions are lifted in the New Year.
The two countries are the poorest in the EU, and there are fears that a new wave of migrants will add to pressure on the NHS, the jobs market and the welfare state. . . .
