‘Communities Secretary’ Hazy McBleary sets out what action the government is taking to manage immigration.

ePolitix reports that this includes a £12m programme of improvements to the way migration data is collected, a fund to help all local services manage the impact of migration, and tougher penalties on those who exploit vulnerable workers.

McBleary said the first specialist team designed to help local councils cope with the massive influx of immigrants will begin work this summer.

McBleary was also expected to admit that the government is unaware of how many immigrants are living in the UK.

Better late than never? By the time action is taken, they will all have gone back home because of the credit crunch…
