The purpose of UKIP quoting from the report is the same as that of the Telegraph in publishing it - it is news based on recent statistics connected to the matter of immigration which is an issue with millions of voters (including those in urban areas who are finding it harder to get jobs or access to public services because of the huge influx over the last decade).
I notice from the UKIP website that the party quotes briefly from the Telegraph but makes no comment on the article itself.
Hardly a crime.
Did UKIP ask for the statistics themselves? No. Did UKIP ask for them to be published? No. Is the report in the Telegraph about something UKIP has said on this matter? No.
