Channel 4’s recent programme on the “cash for influence” scandal was edited to remove a taped interview with a Labour MP who admitted that she and MPs from other parties took cash to bend immigration rules so Third Worlders could enter Britain.The shocking revelations — which were deliberately cut out of the final broadcast — have now leaked out.
In the excised material, Luton Labour MP Margaret Moran boasted that she used the lobbying ability of a private company comprised of Tory, Labour and Lib Dem MPs to change immigration policy so cheap workers could be brought in from India.
The company, called EURIM, is an entirely private enterprise which charges major companies hundreds of thousands of pounds each to join. Once listed as a member, these multinationals can then ask MPs to intercede on legislation pertinent to their industry sector.
In the secretly recorded interviews with an undercover journalist, Ms Moran said EURIM had been able to circumvent the points-based immigration system for IT workers from India.
According to Ms Moran, EURIM’s clients “are paying members who want to influence the agenda. We produce some reports, but mostly it’s lobbying Ministers,” Ms Moran said.
The EURIM website states prominently that EURIM “does not undertake lobbying activities, nor does it make a case on behalf of individual companies.”
Ms Moran’s on-camera admissions prove this to be an outright lie.
“The last one I think was on the immigration rules…because a lot of IT companies had used short-term workers from India,” Ms Moran told the undercover reporter.
“The immigration points system was going to throw that. I actually went and saw Tata who are the big Indian IT company…so we got that points system changed. So they still are able to bring workers in for big projects,” Ms Moran said on tape.
The Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) is on record as saying that the importation of IT workers from India was the direct cause of “tens of thousands of British IT workers” being made jobless
