Net migration statistics fall as immigration reforms take hold
settlement visa's down by 1/3, maybe people were waiting to see what the changes were, but then many people would have been rushing to get thier app in b4 the changes.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics published today show estimated net migration in the UK has fallen to 216,000 in the year to December 2011, from 252,000 to the year to December 2010, as a raft of recent reforms to the immigration system start to bite.
...
Settlement also fell by a third in the year ending June 2012, compared with the previous 12 months, to the lowest level in the last five years

Yep already reported on the BBC. But the IPPR are saying a third of the reduction is due to an increase in emigration.
