UK ONS: EU nationals leaving UK at the fastest rate in 10-years
The latest migration flows reported by the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS), earlier this Thursday, estimates that 130,000 EU nationals emigrated in the year to September, the highest number since 2008.
Key points:
• 220,000 EU nationals came to live in the UK - 47,000 fewer than the previous year.
• Net EU migration - the difference between arrivals and departures - was 90,000, the lowest for five years.
• The figures also show that more British people are emigrating than are returning to live in the UK.
