Migration: Meet England's new Europeans

BBC Inside Out reveals new analysis on immigration that shows the growth in European migrants across England.

The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford estimates the migrant population in England has increased by 565,000 since 2011. Almost two thirds of these migrants came from the European Union.

Home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani took a journey across England to report on the state of migration from European countries.

During his road trip he visited the London borough of Brent, Boston in Lincolnshire, Bath and North East Somerset, and Redcar and Cleveland.

Dominic also spoke to Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory about how the UK's migrant population has been changing.

Inside Out is broadcast on Friday 6 March at 19:30 GMT on BBC One and nationwide thereafter for 30 days on the iPlayer.
