Reuters ONS last week,
“The data suggest that the UK is still an attractive country, but its allure for EU migrants has declined considerably over the past couple of years,” she said.
“It’s not all about Brexit: EU net migration was unusually high just before the referendum, and it’s likely that some of the decline would have happened anyway even if the UK had not voted to leave,” she added.
