More
than 2 million people have left the UK for good!
Figures
for thought! - the figures they never talk about.
If some
sections of the national media were to be believed, no one ever leaves
the UK - they only come in.
Over the
period 1991 to 2000, over 2 million people left the UK on a permanent
basis. These were people who had right of residency, the great majority
being British Nationals.
During
the period 1991 to 2000, on average 222,800 persons emigrated from the
UK each year, whilst on average 280,100 migrated to the UK.

* Some figures
above will differ from earlier NCADC bulletins. This is due to a difference
in the way the statistics were compiled (adding asylum seekers as migrants).
