Questioned by MPs, he refused to estimate the number of illegal immigrants in Britain, although a recent study calculated there could be up to 570,000.
"By the very nature that they are illegals makes it very difficult to have a precise estimate," Mr Blair said.
Tony Wright, the Labour MP for Cannock Chase, told Mr Blair that Britain's population had topped 60 million for the first time last year and was expected to rise 12 per cent over the next generation. The rises were equivalent to having a new Oxford, a new Middlesbrough and a new Ipswich every year, and migration was the main driver of the rise. Blair admits he has no policy on population

The question of our generation:
How to deal with millions of legal immigrants of a certain ethnicity 1% of whom are enemy operators, 9% are sympathetic, and the balance are a combination of good and indifferent.
I suspect that the figurative bleeding heart compassion we currently exhibit will fade quickly when the real stuff starts hitting the ground in the shopping malls.
