Provisional net migration was estimated at 685,000, as 532,000 people left
the country over the same period, the Office for National Statistics said
on Thursday.

The top five non-EU nationalities for long-term immigration flows were

“There were approximately 62,000 more Pakistani nationals, 127,000 more
Nigerian nationals and 178,000 more Indian nationals immigrating to the UK

The estimated number of EU nationals was estimated at 126,000, making up

The statistics also showed that most long-term non-EU immigrations arrived
on work-related visas, overtaking those on study-related visas for the
first time since 2019.

“Alongside this growth in non-EU work-related immigration comes a shift in
the balance between work main applicants and dependants. In the year ending
December 2022, main applicants accounted for an estimated 55% of non-EU
long-term work immigration whereas dependants made up 45%,” the ONS said.

“In the year ending December 2023, main applicants accounted for 48% of
non-EU work immigration (204,000). Around 9 in 10 (93%) of those arriving
on main applicant work visas in the year ending December 2023 were aged 18
to 44 years and were mainly female (57%).

“Comparatively, non-EU nationals arriving as dependants of those on work
visas made up just over half (52%) of non-EU work-related immigration in
the YE December 2023 (219,000).

“Preliminary analysis indicates that those most likely to bring dependants
come from Nigeria, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Ghana.
Dependants are a mixture of adults and children; of the top ten countries,
around 50% of dependants were aged 17 years or under.”

Until 2019 most long-term immigrants were EU nationals, but the
introduction of a new immigration system ending free movment for EU
nationals has resulted in a drop in migration from EU countries and a
massive in arrivals from non-EU countries.

“The ending of free movement of those from the European Union coupled with
the introduction of a new immigration system in January 2021, easing of
restrictions after the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and external events
such as the war in Ukraine have all had an impact,” the ONS said.

Of the estimated 532,000 emigrating from the UK, 233,000 were non-EU
nationals, 202,000 were from EU countries, and 98,000 were British.

A recent report from think tank the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) found
that record-high immigration has failed to boost the British economy while
exacerbating the housing crisis and placing increasing pressure on public
service.

The report also highlighted the dramatic increase in the non-White British
population, the extremely uneven geographic distribution of recently
arrived immigrants, the vast difference in contributions made by migrants
from different regions, and two decades of broken promises by Conservative
and Labour governments alike.

Is this the kind of data which makes people state that Replacement
Theory is false?
