"The number of Eastern European migrants seeking work in Britain has fallen to its lowest level since 2004 after topping more than 850,000. Some 38,000 people from the former Eastern bloc were registered to work in the UK in the second quarter of 2008, while another 2,000 had applications rejected. The latest figures took the number of so-called A8 nationals - largely Poles - approved under the worker registration scheme to 854,000."
