LabelMuslims come to Britain take jobs/house Q820
Question text Please look at CARD H12. (Some people think that Muslims who come to live in Britain take jobs, housing and health care from other people in Britain, these people would put themselves in box 1. Other people feel that Muslims in Britain contribute a lot in terms of hard work and much needed skills and would put themselves in box 7. Other people have views somewhere in between in boxes 2 to 6.) Please can you tell me which number comes closest to your own views about whether Muslims who come to live in Britain take jobs, housing and health care or whether they contribute a lot in terms of hard work and much needed skills?
