There were 140,000 Romanians and Bulgarians employed in the UK in the first three months after visa controls were lifted, figures show.
The number was down by 4,000 on the final quarter of 2013, but showed an increase of 28,000 compared with the same time last year.

The government has not said how many new arrivals it expects as a result.
The new figures, published by the Office for National Statistics, cover January to March 2014.
