About half might be students (but includes visas for dependents). The Office for National Statistics also projects that, at about the current level of nearly 250,000 per year net, the UK population will increase by a total just under 400,000 per year until 2041. Long term this would lead to growth of 9.7 million people over a 25-year period. We would surpass 70 million in 2026. Their projections also show that around 82% of the total increase by 2041 would be the result of immigration.

You were asked to prove your statement, not me. Why would I do the heavy lifting for you. I haven't said you're wrong and I didn't make the claim they're mainly students. Regarding 'spoon fed' that's just about the reply I expect so not shocked.

I agree it has been a mystery why successive governments/parties have failed to monitor properly/accurately when used for political arguments. Money I suppose.

Yes, the numbers are a guess based on asking a sample of people at some ports and airports why they are in the UK. "Excuse me Sir, are you allowed to be here or are you an illegal immigrant"
I have suspected that there are way more immigrants in the country than the statics indicate, it has been difficult to understand why the amount of NI numbers issued have been way in excess of estimated requirements.

"The system has faced criticism, with two parliamentary committees concluding the International Passenger Survey is now next to useless on its own for government purposes." :rolleyes:
