Migration Had Brought No Economic Benefit…
The Telegraph reports something most people in Britain are already arware of: ten years of record immigration to Britain has produced virtually no economic benefits to the country.
A House of Lords committee, which is due to report next Tuesday, will call into question Government claims that foreign workers add £6 billion each year to the wealth of the nation.
It is expected to say this must be balanced against the increase in population and their use of local services such as health and education, resulting in little benefit per head of the population.
“Our overall conclusion is that the economic benefits of net immigration to the resident population are small and close to zero in the long run,” the report will say.
