David Cameron's Telegraph immigration article 'inaccurate', PCC rules
In one of its last decisions before being abolished, the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) has ruled that a newspaper piece on immigration by Prime Minister David Cameron was inaccurate.
In a guest column in July’s Daily Telegraph, Cameron wrote: “While most new jobs used to go to foreign workers, in the past year more than three quarters have gone to British workers.”
This sparked a complaint from Jonathan Portes, Director of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, who asked the PCC to rule if this was an inaccuracy in breach of Clause 1 of the Editors’ Code of Practice.
