The government Immigration Minister, Damian Green has recently spoken to the Royal Commonwealth Society in relation to the upcoming policy changes and the proposed cap which will eventually limit the number of non-EU migrants that will be allowed in to the UK every year.
Recent figures have reported a record rise in the UK population number. The current data suggests that there are over 55 million people living in the regions of England and Wales.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has released data suggesting that the net immigration figure within the UK has actually risen by 20% last year. The increase in net immigration is attributed to the growing number of foreign students and a drop in the amount of UK nationals emigrating out of the country.
