Madam, - Your edition of November 1st reports on a recent poll in which about half the respondents expressed worries about the future levels of immigration.

In this context it may be of interest that at the recent a.g.m. of Immigration Control Platform the following motion was passed as policy: "That a referendum be held to amend the Constitution as follows: 'The Government shall ensure through legislation, policies and planning that the percentage of foreign residents shall not exceed 10 per cent of the population [ i.e. the current percentage as shown by the Census of 2006]; this amendment to allow for recognition of EU Treaty agreements." - Yours, etc,
