Why the East of England needs migrant workers - and what it must do to make the most of them (by Phillippe Legrain)

The East of England is at the forefront of Britain's vital - and often confused - debate about immigration.

Nearly 120,000 migrants from Poland and the other 'A8' central and east European countries that joined the EU in May 2004 have since registered to work in the Anglia postal region - more than in any other region - while many others are self-employed or may be employed but not registered. A specially commissioned essay by critically acclaimed writer and consultant, Philippe Legrain.
