"Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said on Thursday that one in 30 people currently living in the UK arrived in the country between 2021 and mid-2024. She presented the figure to underscore the recent impact of net migration, which measures the difference between the number of individuals moving long-term to the UK and those leaving."
"An estimated 4,750,000 people immigrated long-term to the UK during this time, while an estimated 2,246,000 emigrated from the country, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The difference between these two numbers—immigration minus emigration—is 2,504,000."
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced that one in 30 people currently residing in the UK arrived during the 2021 to mid-2024 period. She criticized the former Conservative government for overseeing net migration of 2.5 million between 2021 and the July 2024 general election. This figure represents the period from July 2020 to June 2024, encompassing four consecutive 12-month periods. According to the Office for National Statistics, approximately 4.75 million people immigrated long-term to the UK during this timeframe, while 2.25 million emigrated, resulting in a net migration figure of 2.5 million.
