Migration Watch UK is a British think-tank[1][2][3][4] and campaign group[5][6][7][8][9] which argues for lower immigration into the United Kingdom.[10][11][12] Founded in 2001, the group believes that international migration places undue demand on limited resources and that the current level of immigration is not sustainable.[13][14]
The group has been praised for what is seen as improving the quality of debate around immigration[15][16][17] while others have suggested that the group is anti-immigration and have criticised what they say are faults in the group's studies.[18][19][20]
Lord Green of Deddington, former ambassador to Saudi Arabia, is the founder and president of the group. Alp Mehmet, former ambassador to Iceland, is its current chairman. David Coleman, Professor of Demography at Oxford University, is an honorary consultant.
