Two sets of official figures to be published today are expected to confirm that the arrival of migrants from eastern Europe to Britain has not, despite tabloid predictions, turned into a "flood".

The Office for National Statistics is to publish its regular survey showing the flow of people in to and out of the UK.

And the Home Office will publish the first figures for the number of new EU citizens who have signed on to the worker registration scheme as intending to work in Britain for more than a month.
