As posted on ToryDiary today, Dominic Grieve makes the following point in the Standard today:
"Of course, some economic immigration brings benefits but not all. The Government has consistently overstated the economic advantages by emphasising only the contribution of newcomers to overall GDP, when, as the Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs points out, it is the impact on GDP per person that counts, and immigration has had only the most marginal impact on that measure."
It's good to see that he's taken this point on board - but shouldn't most credit go to the excellent Andrew Green of MigrationWatch, who consistently pointed out this marginal impact long before the select committee?
