    # 426........Tory minister thinks we can................

    Minister dismisses fears of new year tide of Romanians and Bulgarians migrants

    The Government has refused repeated demands to publish or commission estimates of the numbers expected to enter Britain

    Mark Harper, the Immigration minister, also rejected calls from Tory right-wingers for frontiers to be shut to workers from the two countries for another five years, warning that such a move would be thrown out by the courts.

    Mr Harper's comments were the first attempt by the Government to forecast the potential impact of the lifting on 1 January of "transitional controls" limiting the right of Romanians and Bulgarians to work in this country.

    Ministers fear that the issue, which has been heavily exploited by the UK Independence Party, has the potential to become politically toxic for the Conservatives in the run-up to the European Parliament elections next May.
