Are we in the dark on EU migration numbers?

Analysis of news and current affairs. Are we in the dark on EU migration numbers?

As David Cameron travels to Brussels for a big summit it is emerged the Government is keeping secret figures that would show the number of European Union migrant in the UK - they say it might damage the negotiations. We'll be asking if that is a good enough reason. 

it seems at the end of a year of chaos in Libya, the factions may be about to sign a peace deal and form a national government -- and we hear from one conservative MP who says if they do -- he hopes it will lead to British air strikes against the Islamic State group in Libya.

And it is the last day this year that the house of commons is sitting - and the government puts out 36 written statements - we can't look at them all - but we will be asking if the one on pole funding leaves some forces worse off.
