Matter of fact? Cameron cites ‘questionable’ migrant benefits data

‘The UK Statistics Authority (UKSA) has lashed out at Downing Street over Prime Minister David Cameron’s citation of “questionable” figures, which were used show how many European Union migrants rely on welfare benefits in the UK.

During a speech on Wednesday, the PM launched “formal negotiations” on the UK’s future in the EU. He claimed that 43 percent of EU migrants are supported by the UK’s benefits system within four years of arrival.

The PM said each family was claiming around £6,000 (US$9,100) a year worth of in-working benefits, and more than 10,000 recently arrived families claimed more than £10,000 a year.

However, he failed to provide a published explanation as to how officials calculated the findings.’
