Senior Partner and Head of UK Practice, Sophie Barrett-Brown spoke with BBC Radio London presenter Eddie Nestor and was quoted in the Evening Standard about the latest migration statistics released by the Office for National Statistics. Sophie commented on the sharp drop in the net number of EU nationals migrating to the UK and how non-EU net migration has increased during the same period. Despite the drop in EU net-migration, the overall figures for net migration continue to be well above the Government’s stated target of tens of thousands.
