| Bunny, here is a quote from the FT (10 Feb 2014): The number of European migrants in the UK is almost exactly balanced by the number of Britons living elsewhere in the EU, according to official figures. About 1.8m Britons live in Europe, with Spain boasting an expat population of just over 1m UK citizens, according to government estimates. Of the Britons living in Europe, 400,000 are claiming a state pension from the UK. That compares with an estimate of 2.34m EU citizens living in the UK, according to the latest official figures from Nomis – the National Online Manpower Information System, a service provided by the Office for National Statistics – based on passport records. |
