House of Commons Library Research Paper 08/65
Impacts of immigration:"One of the main findings of these reports is that current statistics are inadequate for properly assessing the range and depth of impacts of immigration.

But there seems to be an emerging consensus that the overall economic effect of migrant workers – whether positive or negative – is not likely to be large."
