Council tax 'rises for migrants'

"Sharp council tax rises may be needed in the next few years to fund housing and education for immigrant families, says the Local Government Association.
The LGA, which represents local authorities in England and Wales, says rises of 6% on top of inflation-related increases may be needed in some places.

It says councils do not get enough cash to fund the services because official figures under-estimate migrant levels.

But ministers say funding is fair and based on the best figures available.

The claims come after Home Secretary John Reid called on Sunday for a migration advisory committee to recommend an "optimum" level of immigration. "

I thought immigration was all win win
