Dr Peter Drechsler, chair of the ICC UK, has also been speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme ahead of the new figures being released.
He says “it’s worth remembering that every single person living in Britain today is the descendant of an immigrant”.
Drechsler adds it’s very important we change the narrative about migration so we are speaking about immigrants with “respect and appreciation”.
He continues by saying there “is no vision” or “strategy” from the government about what sort of “talent” the UK needs for its future workforce.
Humanitarian and students is the majority of this latest increase. Both of these are temporary. And if some stay because they love it, brilliant it adds to the tax pot and success of the country. I can’t even be bothered to look at the hysteria from the mail or express about these figures.
