Dr Scott Blinder comments about easing of work restrictions for migrants

Scott Blinder was quoted in the Daily Telegraph on 15 February in an article on the easing of work restrictions for Romanians and Bulgarians later this year, entitled 'Bulgarians and Romanians 'will reject hard work''.

Scott said: “It is understandable that people want to have some certainty about what will happen when Romanian and Bulgarian workers have full access to the UK labour market, but the truth is that nobody knows and that this speculation does nothing to help the UK to prepare. Any efforts to develop policy around speculative figures would be a risky gamble.”
