Most of the 1,000 immigrants allowed in to Britain from the Sangatte Red Cross centre are now jobless, an investigation has found.
Four fifths have claimed Job Seekers' allowance at some time since entering the UK in December 2002 as part of a deal with France to shut the hostel. A third has never been in work.
The group, mainly young men from northern Iraq and Afghanistan, were invited to Britain by David Blunkett when he was home secretary. He promised they would work and pay taxes.
