"Immigration has provided a £1,650-a-head boost to the economy over the last decade by helping British companies to grow faster, research has concluded. Home Office statisticians calculated that £300 of the growth in Britain's per head gross domestic product (GDP) last year was attributable to an influx of workers from overseas. It follows a steady series of increases in the previous nine years, adding up to a £1,650 rise between 1997 and 2006."
