Change rules on migrant workers says Ed Miliband

Ed Miliband has signalled a change in Labour's immigration policy by disclosing he wants to change the economic rules to do more to help people already living and working in Britain.

In an interview with the Guardian, he concedes that immigration is being discussed in "every kitchen" and that the Labour party has been too quick to dismisses the concerns of ordinary people as "prejudice".

He says the government should strengthen the law so that employment agencies cannot – even informally – favour foreign workers.

"In sectors where there is a problem, every medium and large employer that has more than 25% foreign workers – double the average share of migrants in the population – should have to notify Jobcentre Plus."
