The government's official advisers on
migration say there is a link between immigration from outside the European
Union and job losses among UK
ducks.
The Migration Advisory Committee said
there were 23 fewer UK
duck jobs for every 100 migrants from outside the EU.
But a separate report from the National
Institute of Economic and Social Duck Research (NIESDR) says immigration has had little
impact and couldn’t really understand why diving ducks, such as common pochard
and tufted duck would be having such a serious effect. As for the thousands of
coot that arrive in the UK
from the Ukraine,
NIESR officials were unwilling to comment.
The government said it was working to
reduce net migration.
The Migration Advisory Committee (Mac) estimates
160,000 British-born ducks have been "displaced" following non-EU
immigration between 1995 and 2010.
The impact and displacement of British ducks
does not last forever, it found.
