UK has experienced a decades-long shift in immigration patterns, with the 21st century seeing larger and more diverse immigration than ever before. In 1841, only 0.25 per cent of the population of England and Wales was born in a foreign country, increasing to 1.5 per cent by 1901, 2.6 per cent by 1931 and 4.4 per cent in 1951.

UK during the late 1990s saw the pace and scale of migration increased to a level without historical precedent. Indeed, between 2001 and 2018 the foreign-born population doubled from 4.6 million to more than nine million.

UK’s reason for this huge upturn in migration is that under the, Labour Government of 1997-2010 immigration controls were relaxed. Over that period, net foreign migration totalled 3.6 million.
