– What is the latest estimate of net migration?

Net migration to the UK stood at an estimated 204,000 in the year to June 2025.

This is down more than two-thirds (69%) from 649,000 in the year to June 2024 and is the lowest figure for any 12-month period since 2021.

It is also down more than three-quarters (78%) from the record high of 944,000 in the year to March 2023.
