ONS migration statistics for the year to September 2018

February 28, 2019

Commenting, Lord Green of Deddington, Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said: 

It is a real concern that non-EU net migration has risen still further to more than a quarter of a million even before the government has implemented its proposals to loosen the work permit system. It’s no surprise that EU migration has fallen further given the extraordinary uncertainty now prevailing over Brexit.
