We're going to wrap this here, but here's a summary of the main points in today's immigration figures: Romanians have become the third largest nationality moving to Britain, new figures have revealed, as arrivals from eastern Europe helped to drive record levels of net migration. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said 34,000 citizens of the former Communist state came here in 2014, meaning Romania moved up six places from ninth place in the international rankings. Only India and China had larger numbers of migrants coming to Britain, while Poland’s 32,000 arrivals saw it rise from fifth to fourth in the league table. It meant Australia was pushed out of the top five for the first time since records began in 1975. The ONS said: "Ranked ninth last year, Romania has entered the top five ranking for the first time. "The estimates of Romanian citizens immigrating to the UK increased by 127 per cent compared to the final 2013 estimates." Separate data from the ONS showed net migration to Britain reached 336,000 in the year to June, up 82,000 year-on-year and a record high - despite the Government's pledge to cut net inflows to the "tens of thousands". Interactive: Immigrants - Top 5 countries of origin Net migration from Romania and Bulgaria was up 70 per cent year-on-year to 46,000 – showing arrivals are continuing to escalate since citizens of the two countries were given unrestricted access to the British job market at the start of last year. In 2002 the Romanian population was just over 21 million and earlier this year the ONS estimated 175,000 are now living in Britain - roughly one in 120 of the country's population. In other figures: • The number of migrants from the EU overall jumped 42,000 to 265,000, bolstering net migration among the group to 180,000. • The number of EU nationals working in Britain stood at two million at the end of September, a jump of 324,000 compared to the same quarter last year. • There were just over 29,000 asylum applications in the year to September, a 19 per cent rise year-on-year. Further figures revealed the number of overseas nationals registering for National Insurance numbers, or Ninos, rose by a third to 862,000. The ONS said this was driven by arrivals from Romania and Bulgaria, which rocketed 52 per cent to 206,000 – the same number awarded to all migrants from outside the EU in the same period. The Nino figures include people who may be coming to Britain for short spells - which the ONS said explained the discrepancy from their migration survey which only measures those coming here for the long-term. Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, said: "Despite an increase in the number of asylum applications in the UK over the summer, refugees and asylum seekers still represent only five per cent of non-British immigration.” She added: "At this point, changes in net migration are mainly being driven by economic factors like the success of the UK economy, rather than by new policies.” Alp Mehmet, vice-chairman of MigrationWatch UK, which campaigns for tougher border controls, said the figures were “very disappointing”. “This demonstrates the importance of the Government’s planned renegotiation on Britain’s relationship with the European Union to reduce the inflow of migrants from Europe," he said.
