so, today, the office for national statistics gave us its latest estimate of net migration — that's theving on our population, the difference between people arriving and leaving — and the figure tojune this year was 728,000. that is one of the highest figures ever. we ought to make it clear that 97% of those people coming actually came quite legally — they came on visas issued by the government — workers, students, dependents, those kind of things. but the big shock in today's figures was not actually that number, but this graph. and what this graph shows is what we now think net migration has been for each year going back roughly a decade. and what you can see is the high point there — that's the year tojune last year — was 906,000. minus the number of people leaving — so represents an increase to the population. today's figures come as political leaders across europe and the rest of the world are struggling with the issue of legal and illegal migration. mark easton has been analysing the data. so, today, the office for national statistics gave us its latest estimate of net migration —

that's how many people the office for national statistics now says were missing from the net migrationo the population in those 12 months, as you can see here — a huge number which prompted a heated political debate at the time. but now the official stats say it was more than 900,000, as this grey line shows. so why the increase? the office for national statistics says it is getting greater accuracy and now think it underestimated the number of refugees who came to the uk from ukraine and how many people who arrive on a short—term visas actually stay for more than 12 months and should be included in the data. the vast majority of people who came to live in the uk in the last year arrived quite legally — workers, students, family members and refugees were given visas by the government. only around 3% of the total came in small boats or by other unauthorised routes. so, what is the impact of these changes to the figures? well, it means the uk population is a little bigger than we thought. it means more pressure on public services and housing than we thought. and it means the stats are le

the prime minister was speaking after the office for national statistics said uk net migration — hit 906,000 in the 12 months tojune 2023. figures for the 12 months tojune this year show estimated net migration of 728,000 — down a fifth on that revised figure. net migration is the number of people arriving, minus the number of people leaving, so represents an increase to the population. our home editor mark easton has more on today's figures. so, today, the office for national statistics gave us its latest estimate of net migration — that's the impact that immigration is having on our population, the difference between people arriving and leaving — and the figure tojune this year was 728,000. that is one of the highest figures ever. we ought to make it clear that 97% of those people coming actually came quite legally — they came on visas issued by the government — workers, students, dependents, those kind of things. but the big shock in today's figures was not actually that number, but this graph. and what this graph shows is what we now think net migration has been for each year goi

that's how many people the office for national statistics now says were missing from the net migratione year to june last year. we'd thought immigration added almost three quarters of a million to the population in those 12 months — as you can see here — a huge number which prompted a heated political debate at the time. but now the official stats say it was more than 900,000 — as this grey line shows. so why the increase? the office for national statistics says it is getting greater accuracy and now think it underestimated the number of refugees who came to the uk from ukraine and how many people who arrive on a short—term visas actually stay for more than 12 months and should be included in the data. the vast majority of people who came to live in the uk in the last year arrived legally — workers, students and other groups who were given visas by the government. only around 3% came in small boats or other unauthorised routes. so, what is the impact of these changes to the figures? well, it means the uk population is a little bigger than we thought. it means more pressure on public se

how does the office for national statistics get it so wrong? brian: i think there are two problems. experiment of figures. essentially the ons are having to deal with the fact that we left the eu and have to have new ways of measuring migration. i think it is a difficult time for them to be doing that, particularly when such change. one issue is that they want to -- there is this trade-off between publishing numbers fast sense as to what is going on almost in real time, and when you do that, you inevitably have to make assumptions. a simple example, one of the reasons they have to revise the numbers is they assume that a lot of students when they finish the course just leave. but it is only a few months after they finish the course that you know whether that is true or not, or whether they switched to anher visa like the graduate visa, which they are allowed to do. it is that trade-off between yes, you can get the numbers fast, but you are making lots of assumptions that may turn out not to be correct. that is a choice you have to make. christian: professor brian bell, good ttalk to

growth was lower than expected and the office for national statistics said activity was subdued acrosshdown talked me through the numbers. it was a really strong start to the year. we had a couple of good quarters of growth and now it seems to have sort of spluttered or gone a bit flat. gdp, of course, is a sort of temperature test really, for the economy, how fast it�*s growing or not. we get monthly and we get quarterly figures that are monthly ones do tend to sort ofjump around a bit. so september dipped into reverse overall went into negative growth. but it�*s the quarterly ones. you get four readings over the course of the year, which are the key. if you look at that chart now, which has just popped up there very handily. back end of last year, we had two consecutive negative quarters of growth. that�*s the red blocks. that means we officially entered a recession but pretty quickly bounced out. as you can see, the start of this year was quite strong, though, wasn�*t it? 0.7% and 0.5%. so as i say, we�*ve spluttered a bit. so why the dip? well, various factors. the budget, in a wor
