Net Migration to UK Falls by Nearly 50% After Labour's Vow to Cut Numbers The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has released figures showing that net migration to the UK has plummeted by nearly 50% to 171,000 last year.
This significant drop is being hailed as a victory for Keir Starmer's government, which has pledged to reduce immigration.
The sharp decline in net migration can be attributed, in part, to the dwindling number of nationals from outside the EU arriving in the UK for work related reasons.
