Is it enough to improve housing market in London?
- Smaug123 4y agoThe removal of about 500 people (not all of whom will leave London) and perhaps their families from a city of population about 9mm? I imagine not.
- slaw 4y agoNot enough, but at least there is a start.
- killingtime74 4y agoAround 4,000 move to London every week. 500 (not all/any of whom are leaving) is less than 1 days worth

See figure 5 https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/migrants-in-the-uk-an-overview/ https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/mi... India is the biggest source of our migrants, specially in London. I'm pro-migration and immigration but the picture painted by our Government puts all the blame on immigrants fleeing war-torn countries. Heck I met someone on the train who'd came in via Heathrow and he said the process of getting his visa in India was easier than its ever been for him.
