UK MPs TO VOTE ON ASSISTED DYING LEGISLATION

Net Migration To The UK Falls 20% From Previous Record High

Net migration to the UK fell by 20% in the year to June 2024, after record high numbers the year before. 

The decline was driven by stricter rules imposed by the previous Conservative government, which included a clampdown on the dependents of those on study visas.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics show net migration was an estimated 728 thousand, down from 906 thousand in the year to June 2023.

Migration was a key issue at the last UK general election, but the Labour Government has rejected calls for a new cap on visas.

Migration minister Seema Malhotra has said that the "underlying causes" of migration need to be addressed.
