East of England: What does asparagus have to do with immigration?
As part of our bid to report from 100 constituencies in the run up to the election, Mishal Husain visited Cambridge and Norfolk, looking at the debate on immigration, which is not only about the numbers of people who come into the country but also about skills.

Mishal Husain gathered the views from an asparagus farm, Cambridge Science Park and a cheer-leading class in Thetford.
