The key statistics:
- Net migration 273,000 for 2016
- Down 50,000 on 2015, this is seen as not statistically significant
- 596,000 immigrated to the UK
- 268,000 new EU citizens, 257,000 new non-EU citizens
- Net migration now higher from EU than outside EU
- 323,000 emigrated: including 103,000 EU citizens and 93,000 non-EU
- 74,000 Romanians and Bulgarians came in 2016, highest estimate recorded
- 104,000 arrived looking for work but without a job to go to
Net migration essentially still around that stubborn 300,000 mark…
