Figures Show Drop In Net Migration
Office for National Statistics figures published today show that while recent net migration remains stable it has fallen by a third since its peak in 2005.
The figures also showed net migration from outside the EU is down to levels not seen since the late 1990s, demonstrating that reforms to curb non-EU migration and tackle abuse in the work, family and student visa routes are having the intended impact.
Immigration and Security Minister James Brokenshire said: "Uncontrolled, mass immigration makes it difficult to maintain social cohesion, puts pressure on our public services and forces down wages for people on low incomes.
"We are building an immigration system that is fair to British citizens and legitimate migrants and tough on those who abuse the system or flout the law. We want to ensure that people come to the UK for the right reasons – to work hard and contribute to our economy and society."
