This year's harvest of raspberries and strawberries in the UK will rot if the Home Office do not allow more migrants to enter the country to work as farm hands, Times newspaper reported.

Farmers demanded that the government should relax quotas allowing thousands more Bulgarians, Romanians, Ukrainians, Albanians to work in the country.

The Environment Minister Lord Rooker supports farmers' points of view, while the Immigration Minister Liam Byrne claims that the current quotas are right for Britain.

The labour shortage emerged despite the fact that about 630,000 migrants from Eastern Europe have registered for work in Britain since May 2004 and more than 16,000 arrive for six-month seasonal work.
