BIRKENHEAD MP Frank Field has called for a halt to mass immigration to the United Kingdom.
He described the current movement of people to the country as a "revolution" and likened it to "Stalin's forced migration of Ukraine."
The former minister called on the Government to establish a quota system for migrant workers and to impose a ban on movement from the new EU member states until all European partners agreed to open up their labour markets.
This is not the first time Mr Field has raised the immigration issue. Last month he warned that mainstream parties were "living on borrowed time" and said they were leaving the way open for the far-right British National Party to exploit voters' concerns.
However, his remarks have also provoked accusations of "scare-mongering" from the Liberal Democrats.
Mr Field said: "Britain is being transformed by the mass movement of people in and out of the country at a rate never before experienced in our history.
"In 2004 almost one million people came to live in Britain while 340,000 left to start a new life beyond our shores. If this trend continues, one tenth of the country's population will have been changed within the life of a five-year parliament.
