1 in 9 Living In Britain Is Foreign

Hi again Everyone, An interesting article appeared this week in The Telegraph UK saying that one in nine people now resident in Britain was born abroad.

"Official figures show 6.5 million people born overseas were resident in the UK in the year to June 2008, an increase of 290,000 on the year to June 2007.

The Annual Population Survey [by the Home Office] showed 4.1 million foreign nationals resident in the UK in the year to June 2008, compared with 3.8 million in the year to June 2007. "

Best wishes for your weekend and your new week! Andrea
