It’s ‘turnstiles, not floodgates’, says IPPR report

Half of the one million migrant workers that have come to the UK since their countries joined the EU in 2004 have already gone home, according to a new report.


The number of workers arriving from Poland and other eastern/central European countries is likely to fall in the coming months and years as economic conditions improve in their own countries, according to a report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) think-tank. More of those currently in the UK are likely to return home too, it says.
