Cameron pledge missed as net migration up to 298,000

Official immigration figures show the net number of people coming to live in Britain has increased over the last year.

Net migration to the UK has risen to 298,000, according to the final set of figures before the election.

The numbers, for the year ending in September 2014, are now well above the level of migration when David Cameron came to power in 2010.

Deputy political editor James Landale reports.
