pubuc a firm footing and also our public services are funded in a proper way, and we've now set the envelope for those public services for the rest of this parliament, which means we're not going to have to come back for more. >> well, that's it from the newsroom for now. joe casper will be here at 8:00 with all the top stories. now, though, it's back to westminster for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com/alerts . or go to gbnews.com/alerts. >> thank you sam. now let's get cracking with tonight's show. we start with this the asylum minister, angela eagle, confirmed today in the house of commons that a bombshell statistics concerning illegal migration are set to be released by the end of this week at the rupert lowe mp of reform uk, raised the matter in parliament

dunng raised the matter in parliament during today's home office questions. let's take a listen. >> i've been told by her department, in response to a written question, that the number of crimes committed by illegal migrants is not available through published statistics . i'm sure that the statistics. i'm sure that the home office does hold the data . home office does hold the data. so would the minister today commit to publishing that information in full? >> there's a huge statistical drop of immigration related national statistics coming at the end of this week ago. >> now, that is a morsel to dangle. however, questions will remain as to why these figures have taken this long to be published, leading to a wider discussion over over government transparency or the lack of it, particularly regarding who is coming in and out of our country and what crimes they are committing or not. so tonight i'm asking you the big question is it time that our government published statistics on crimes by illegal migrants? tweet hashtag farage on gb news. or you can email us farage @gbnews .com. well, i'm joined in the

studio now by the man who asked that question earlier on today. that's the reform uk mp for great yarmouth, rupert lowe, and i'm also joined by gb news senior political commentator nigel nelson. rupert, let's start with you. you've been nibbling away on trying to get crime data published and also benefits data universal credit, that was last week. why do you want this data published and what do you think it will tell us? >> well first of all, martin, so the viewers understand as an mp you can ask 20 questions a day of the government, which we've worked out fairly quickly, that we should use, and we we're nibbling away, trying to effectively ask a question and then ask another question and fill the gaps in and try and get as much of the data as we can. i mean, my view on this is that the british public deserve to have transparent, honest data. you know , good government is you know, good government is transparent government and ultimately it's the british taxpayer who's paying the bills. and in my world, he who pays the piper calls the tune. and i

think it's very important that we get honest, accurate data. and interestingly, when angela eagle answered that question, she didn't deny that they had the data. but she said they were going to be there was going to be a big data 150
