Force HMRC to reveal true levels of EU immigration.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The Office For National Statistics states that 904,000 EU migrants have arrived in Britian since 2010. But in this same time 2.2million national insurance numbers have been issued to EU migrants. This doesnt add up and furthermore HMRC are refusing to publish the figures! We have a right to know!
Ahead of the EU referendum on June 23rd its essential that the general public are given all the information they need in order to make a informed decision. HMRC have denied numerous freedom of information requests. In one of these requests made by jonathan portes the goverment responded saying the figures would be "unhelpful" to Mr Camerons renegotiations. I think its a national disgrace that the Tory Goverment are withholding such vital information before the EU referendum. Release the figures!
