The Hindu:
Labour Talks Tough on Immigration

19 April 2015

In a significant repositioning of Labour's views on immigration, Ed Miliband on Saturday pledged a series of measures to control immigration if his party is voted to power.

Jonathan Wadsworth of the London School of Economics says
'Fears about adverse consequences of rising immigration regularly seen in opinion polls have not, on average, materialised. It is hard to find evidence of much displacement of U.K. workers or lower wages. Any negative impacts on wages of less skilled groups are small.'
