Prime Minister Gordon Brown has acknowledged public fears about the costs of immigration and its impact on jobs and wages.

Mr Brown said people with concerns about immigration were not "racist" and pledged to tighten up rules on migrant workers.

He said Britain's population would not reach the 70 million mark as suggested by official statistics and launched a review of visa rules and working rights for students.
