Commenting on the latest Bank of England research on the impact of immigration on wages, Lord Green of Deddington said:

 

“For many years the immigration lobby have claimed that there is no evidence that immigration has any significant effect on the wages of British workers.  This new research by the Bank of England blows their claims out of the water. It has found a significant negative impact on those in the lower skilled services sector in which six million UK born are working.  This amounts to nearly a quarter of all British workers.”
