Immigrants push up house prices/rents... unhelpful report?
According to Government research, more people competing for properties results in higher prices. That - you see - is why we have the Migration Advisory Committee.
During the best of times, this kind of report would just be pointless. But, while the Government makes low-earners' eyes water with brutal housing benefit reforms, effectively giving many a choice between homes and debt and moving to Margate, it feels provocative.
