That this House notes recent figures showing that nearly 90 per cent. of the 400,000 jobs created since May 2010 have been taken by foreign workers; further notes that the transitional restrictions on workers from Bulgaria and Romania are under review by the Government and the subject of a forthcoming report by the Migration Advisory Committee; further notes that in difficult economic times more migrant workers from Bulgaria and Romania may choose to seek work in the UK; and urges the Government to immediately avail itself of the ability to extend the transitional restrictions until 2013 to help support jobs for UK workers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
