Letters: How can a Conservative government have so little grip on migration?

SIR – Are Britain’s staggering legal immigration numbers (“Net migration to UK hits record high”, report, telegraph.co.uk, November 23) a result of deliberate – but covert – government policy, or just sheer incompetence? It would be useful to know before the general election. Either way, it does not look good for the Conservatives. James Thacker Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire
