ORB research have published a new poll, commissioned by the Citizens Organising Foundation that shows two in three (66%) UK adults support getting as many of the 300,000 – 500,000 asylum seekers and those that have overstayed their visa into work.

The poll also shows that there is widespread support (67%) for allowing those that have worked for four or more years and that have paid taxes to be allowed to stay in the country. The same proportion (67%) agree that any asylum seeker should be allowed to work legally in Britain if they want to.

The Commission will be considering this evidence, along with a wide range of other submissions from accross government, civil society organisations and trade unions, as it develops its recommendations for combating vulnerable employment.
