Harriet Harman criticised for 'heroic' immigrants comment
Harriet Harman has been criticised for praising 'heroic’ immigrants on benefits who send welfare money home to family members.
Harriet Harman said many people in her Peckham constituency were regularly sending money overseas
At a meeting over the weekend Miss Harman, who is also the shadow development secretary, discussed how to increase “remittances” — the money sent by families in Britain to relatives overseas.
One of the audience members told a Sunday newspaper: “Harriet led a discussion on how to back up what she called 'the hidden heroes of development’ through developing new policies on remittances.”
Miss Harman said many people in her Peckham constituency were regularly sending money overseas.
She told the meeting that she was “amazed” by how many people did it.
An audience member said Miss Harman wanted to start an international survey to devise ways to make it easier for countries to receive remittances from Britain.
Her remarks were met with enthusiasm but others questioned the plan.
One person pointed out: “If it was found that the majority sending remittances were on benefits, critics would say it proved they get too much.”

Immigrants cost UK economy £1.7 billion
Send 'em home I say.
Linky
The cost was significantly higher at £1.3bn in England where invasive non-native species have become more established.
The price was put at £251m in Scotland and £133m in Wales.Tags: None
