Immigration to Britain triple Downing Street’s target

‘Net immigration to Britain in the year ending September 2015 stood at 323,000 – over three times higher than the government’s target, new figures reveal.

The data, released on Thursday by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), shows that immigration to Britain increased by 2,000 to 617,000 during this period, while emigration fell by 29,000 to 294,000. The figures also reveal that net immigration for the year ending September 2015 rose by 31,000 within 12 months.

The ONS statistics will come as a blow for the ‘remain’ camp lobbying for Britain to retain its EU membership ahead of June’s ‘In/Out’ referendum. Migration is expected to play a key role in Brits’ decision-making process – and the ONS’ latest figures far exceed the levels Prime Minister David Cameron had pledged in 2010.’
