Net migration to the UK in the year to June 2023 has been revised up from an initial estimate of 740,000 to an estimated record 906,000, while the total for the year to December 2023 has been revised up from 685,000 to 866,000.
Estimates of migration to and from the UK typically undergo a number of revisions as more data becomes available, but the scale of the latest revisions – a jump of 166,000 in the total for the year to June 2023 – reflects recent changes and improvements adopted by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which publishes the figures.
