Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has apologised after it emerged that government figures on foreign workers were underestimated by 300,000.
She admitted it was "bad" that the wrong figures were given out on foreign nationals since 1997, but said 2.7m new jobs had been created under Labour.
The number of foreign workers in the UK since 1997 is now thought to be 1.1m, not the 800,000 officially recorded.
**So they miscounted by some 300,000 people and now tell us that they think that the correct figure is "thought to be 1.1m" rather than 800,000. Would it be cynical to ask quite what the correct figure really is, or do the government not know?

After reading a lot about the goings on over there, i have to ask, was Tony Blair really that good at spin or are the opposition just that awful?
Yes he was good at spin and yes the Tories have a problem in that they spend more time infighting than facing off New Labour.
