• Large numbers come from nearby countries (e.g. Poland 696 thousand, Ireland

• Large numbers come from former British colonies (India, 370 thousand,
Pakistan, Nigeria) (1) because of tradition of migration to Britain (1) which was

• Large numbers of migrants from English speaking countries e.g. Ireland 370

Accept any other appropriate response.
Allow quoting of data even if ‘thousand’ is left off, if the answer makes valid
comparisons.
