BOLTON Euro MP John Whittaker has warned that Britain will not be able to cope with large scale immigration.

Dr Whittaker, of the UK Independence Party, endorsed remarks made by former Government Minister Frank Field MP, who has called for a halt to mass immigration.

Dr Whittaker said: "There has been no shortage of reports pointing to the severe pressure on housing, schools and medical services that influx of half a million immigrants from Eastern Europe has caused."

Under European Union rules, nationals of the new Eastern EU members gained automatic rights to residence in other EU countries.
