Immigrants and benefit curbs

Benefit curbs would deter immigrants
Benefit restrictions are likely to deter Romanian migrants from coming to Britain, a poll has found. Seven in ten of the Romanians who are thinking about moving to live in Britain would reconsider in the light of the new system. The poll, carried out for BBC's Newsnight, still found that 8.2% of Romanians and 13.6% of Bulgarians would consider the UK as a migration destination this year or next. Furthermore, 4.6% of Romanians and 9.3% of Bulgarians said it would be their first choice of country to move to.
