Net migration lower than thought as more citizens leave Britain: Report

ONS data overhaul reveals 257,000 Britons emigrated in 2024, over three times earlier estimates, lowering net migration to 345,000 and indicating a sharper recent decline, officials said.

  • Net migration to the UK in 2024 was revised down to 345,000 people arriving, 20% lower than initially thought.
  • The revision accounts for more British nationals emigrating in 2024 than initially estimated, with 100,000 fewer thought to be living in the UK.
  • The new figures are based on how often people appear in tax and benefits records, providing a more accurate reflection of migrants' activities in the UK.
