British DPM Calls Plans To Limit Number of EU Immigrants "Illegal"

Bulgarians and Romanians will be allowed to travel freely throughout the bloc next month

Nick Clegg has condemned leaked Home Office proposals to cap the number of European Union immigrants at 75,000 a year as "illegal and unworkable".

The deputy prime minister said such a move would be a "disaster for the economy" and bring "tit-for-tat" actions by other member states.

Home Secretary Theresa May refused to confirm any plans were in place.
