The Government accused the Conservatives of running “Britain as an experiment in open borders” as revised estimates revealed net migration to the UK hit a record 906,000 in 2023.
Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures indicated the measure for the difference between the number of people arriving and leaving the country reached the higher than previously thought peak in the 12 months to June last year, after being revised up 166,000 from the initial estimate of 740,000.
