Britain has been told to pay more than £10 million in unemployment benefit to eastern European migrants who have left Britain, returned home and now cannot find a job. Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have demanded that Iain Duncan Smith’s department funds their jobless citizens because they once worked and paid national insurance in the UK. His department has refused because the migrants had not worked in the UK long enough to claim, but the three countries have threatened to issue a diplomatic protest. Czech labour minister Michaela Marksova-Tominova (right) said Britain owed her country £3million in  benefits under EU rules but Iain Duncan Smith (left) has refused to pay because the migrants didn't work long enough
