Net migration to the U.K. fell to a three-year low after an exodus of European workers following the June 2016 Brexit referendum.
Arrivals outnumbered departures by 246,000 in the 12 months through March 2017. That was down a “statistically significant” 81,000 from a year earlier and was also the lowest figure since March 2014, the Office for National Statistics in London said Thursday.
