Has net migration really hit a record high - or has it just been underestimated for years?

The UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, is expected to face questions over the government’s attitude to immigration after figures likely to indicate record high net migration are released. Reports suggest that predictions of an extra 700,000 or even 1 million people living in the UK by 2022 are being quoted, compared to the current record of 504,000. The Office for National Statistics has overhauled its method of migration calculation, which the Conservative Party will argue has resulted in under-reporting of recent figures, with suggestions that it has failed to account for Eastern European workers arriving through cheaper regional airports.
