UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has accused the previous Conservative government of running an "open borders experiment" after new figures showed record net migration.
Net migration to the UK was 906,000 in the year ending June 2023 - far higher than previous estimates.
About 1.3 million people came to live in the UK in this period, while 414,000 people left.
Net migration - the difference between the number of people leaving and arriving - then fell to 728,000 in the 12 months to June 2024.
