The Office for National Statistics reported net migration to the UK soared to a record 906,000, a significant revision from the previous estimate of 740,000, marking unprecedented levels since 2021.
Declining numbers of dependants arriving with study visa holders, prompted by tougher rules, contributed to a 20 percent fall in net migration to 728,000 in the year ending June 2024.
While migration peaked under the Conservative government, the current Labour administration also seeks to address the issue by training domestic workers, holding the previous administration responsible for record numbers.
Concerns among UK voters about housing shortages and the strain on public services have been intensifying, contrasting with employer demands in health and social care for foreign workers.
