Net migration into the UK will stay above 250,000 a year if the UK decides to remain in the EU, a pressure group has claimed.Migration Watch UK says the number of people in the UK will increase by at least a quarter of a million a year for the next 20 years resulting in “a massive impact on our population”.It bases its claim on current levels of net migration – 336,000 in the year to June – and estimates on the UK’s ability to limit the numbers arriving from both the EU and beyond.Migration Watch says it is not taking a position on the EU referendum and that its role is to “provide the facts”.
