MIGRATION TO THE UK FALLS

EU net migration has fallen to the lowest level since 2003. EU people have been returning home according to the office for national statistics. (ONS)

151.000 emigrated in the past 12 months. It seems this result is mainly the Brexit effect. Net migration from outside the EU has increased for the past six years. The ONS says the rise in non EU immigration is mainly because of a gradual increase in those coming to the UK for formal study.
