IT has been disclosed that the true numbers of EU migrants to the United Kingdom have failed to be reported by government ministers claiming that it would be "unhelpful" ahead of Mr Cameron's supposed re-negotiation of terms of our EU membership.

More than one million migrants to the UK over the last few years remain unaccounted for leading to claims that if the official data were to be released it could lead people to vote to leave the EU.

This has led to the mystery of the two million NI numbers issued to Europeans yet official figures show that only 760 EU migrants have settled here.

This has subsequently been dubbed a “migration cover up,” which it no doubt is.

As migration will be an important issue and a deciding factor in the forthcoming in-out EU referendum we should be told the truth on the matter.
