Net immigration from the European Union to Britain fell to the lowest level in six years as the U.K. came closer to leaving the bloc.
An estimated 74,000 EU citizens were added to U.K.’s population in the year ended June 30, a level not seen since 2012, the Office for National Statistics said on Thursday. During the same period, the net inflow of non-EU citizens migrating to Britain was 248,000, the highest level in 14 years, the ONS said.
