Hi David
First report: see – I’ll be sending you others during the course of the day!
The number of immigrants in the UK has increased by more than two million since 2001, according to a government-commissioned report.
Consultancy Oxford Economics pointed to surveys that indicated there were now around 6.6 million UK residents who had been born abroad, compared with 4.3 million in 2001.
The figures emerged in a study carried out for the Department for Communities and Local Government, published on its website last month.
Think tank Migrationwatch said it was now “absolutely essential” that the main political parties committed themselves to a “very sharp cut in immigration”.
The Oxford Economics report stated: “Recent evidence indicates that the 2001 figure of 4.3 million foreign-born people in the UK could have grown further by more than two million in the last eight years.”
This figure was based on the “best available estimates from sample surveys”.
Just under 11% of current UK residents were born abroad compared to 7.5% in 2001, according to the report.
Migrationwatch chairman Sir Andrew Green said the report had confirmed figures the think tank had predicted seven years ago.
He said: “In 2002 we said that: ‘Continued failure to get a grip of the situation will play into the hands of the far right who seek to exploit the situation for their own ends and to whom we are totally opposed’.
