4:09 pm
foreign student numbers. they argue they contribute tens of billions of pounds the billions of pounds to the british lower british economy and help lower fees domestically because they pay fees domestically because they pay however for the pay more. however for the government are going to take steps to try and lower the number of dependents allowed to arrive. many questioning why as an undergraduate, for example, you need a family member to accompany you to the uk. the second big driver are refugees, if you like legal refugees, those arriving from afghanistan, from hong kong , more notably from hong kong, more notably this year, from , um, ukraine. this year, from, um, ukraine. now the government makes a case that one of the reasons the figures are so high this year is because of those exceptional circumstances and that actually this coming year were less likely to see refugees in those numbers from those countries arrive in british shores. and then the third is effectively designed by brexit. it's the visa work scheme, if you like, where the government has opened up certain employer and job prospects for foreigners to come here and work in certain industries, whether that's the health sector , whether it's the health sector, whether it's the
4:10 pm

4:28 pm
away , taking their opportunity away, taking their opportunity to come across here. and in conjunction , of course, with the conjunction, of course, with the net migration figures from the office for national statistics today we're more figures on the illegal migration problem. as the government outlines it as being and also of course on the asylum applications crisis that the home office in particular is facing now . the home office facing now. the home office figures in tandem with the ons figures in tandem with the ons figures , was revealed that in figures, was revealed that in the year to march of this year, there were 75,000 asylum applications. now patrick, that is the largest single year of asylum applications for the past 20 years. it's a 33% increase on the number of asylum applications last year. the number of asylum applications last year . and that applications last year. and that in turn is simply added to the
4:29 pm
asylum backlog, which never gets any smaller and only continues to grow. it's now up . at 172,000 to grow. it's now up. at 172,000 asylum applications , still asylum applications, still waiting for that initial decision and that's a 57% increase on last year. so more detail as well on the breakdown of those on the boats last year that came across and indeed , in that came across and indeed, in the first three months of this year. the first three months of this year . now the first three months of this year. now last year, the first three months of this year . now last year, the year. now last year, the predominant nationalities were afghanistan citizens and also those from albania. these were the two biggest. now nations in terms of the representation on on these small boats . this year, on these small boats. this year, that's changed around and that actually it's still afghanistan even that is the most significant contributor to people crossing on small boats. but albania has all but
4:30 pm
disappeared from the small boat crossings in the first three months of this year. crossings in the first three months of this year . just 28 months of this year. just 28 albanians crossed. that's 1% of albanians crossed. that's1% of the small boat crossings for those first three months. and they have instead been replaced by indians. some 700 indian nationals were on these boats in the first three months. so a change in the demographics to some extent coming across in the small boats and we are at a place where there are slightly fewer in number who have come across compare to this period last year. but as i say, that's weather related . and once we get weather related. and once we get flat calm conditions , we expect flat calm conditions, we expect the numbers coming across to grow. very significant indeed . grow. very significant indeed. absolutely mark white there, snenn— absolutely mark white there, inenk yen — absolutely mark white there, inenk yen verve— absolutely mark white there, thank you very, very- ' eiglyn mark white there, thank you very, very much. mark wnee— thank you very, very much. mark wine, sn— thank you very, very much. mark white, our home— thank you very, very much. mark white, our home and security eiiisn— white, our home and security eiiisn inn— white, our home and security editor from dover. just picking innsnen— editor from dover. just picking innsnen ine— editor from dover. just picking through the numbers there. inienesiine— through the numbers there. interesting shift, isn't it? some— interesting shift, isn't it? some good— interesting shift, isn't it?
