Labour 'covered up' pre-election reports revealing Eastern European immigrants were more likely to claim benefits

Daily Mail
"Among the potentially damaging claims to be hushed up, the documents stated that:

#27 per cent of immigrants coming to Britain from the two countries had low education levels and were more likely to claim unemployment benefits
#15 per cent coming from those countries were already out-of-work in their homeland;
#Those coming from all countries to Britain are more likely to end up unemployed than the existing population;
#They were also less likely to engage and contribute in 'civic life'.

The documents, commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG), said that despite the implementation of a 'cap' on numbers, the migration rate into Britain from Romania and Bulgaria increased significantly after the countries joined the EU in 2007."
