But the scale of immigration has proved to be 15 times greater.In 2007, another 214,510 eastern Europeans registered to work in Britain, equal to 600 arrivals a day. Eastern European immigrants can claim benefits after working here for 12 months - including child benefit for children who have stayed with relatives back in their home countries. In the last 12 months, the cost of paying benefits to the newcomers has more than doubled to an estimated £170million a year, with 145,000 immigrants now claiming state handouts. Local authorities in some areas have warned that public services such as schools are coming under intense strain. Mr Davis said the arrival of so many immigrants meant that "our housing and public service infrastructure have come under severe pressure with local authorities and council tax payers having to shoulder the burden". The Government predicted 13,000 arrivals a year when opting to open Britain's labour markets to millions of new EU citizens - while most other countries imposed restrictions. The Home Office acknowledges that benefits claims are increasing but insists they "remain low". The numbers in receipt of benefits more than doubled last year, rising by 109 per cent in 12 months to 145,000. UK business leaders said employers will continue to welcome the new arrivals because their work ethic is "so much better than domestic workers" who suffer from a "skills shortage and increasing welfare dependency".
