More than 90% of immigrants to the UK live in England, meaning increased problems with overcrowding, new research has claimed.
Migration Watch UK said it had completed a study of immigration and found that, of the 7.1 million foreign-born people in Britain, 6.6 million of them live in England - 93% of the group. Scotland is home to 326,000 foreigners, while while there are 150,000 immigrants in Wales and 100,000 in Northern Ireland.
The campaign group said its research had also shown England is already one of the most crowded countries in the world. Migration Watch UK said ONS figures suggested the English population is set to grow by another 4.3 million immigrants over the next 16 years.
The group's chairman Sir Andrew Green said: "The immigration lobby like to talk about the UK, obscuring the fact that England is six times as crowded as Scotland.
"Since the vast majority of immigrants come to England, it is England's place in the league table that counts. Leaving aside city states and small islands, England lies sixth among the most crowded countries in the world.
"As people sit in traffic jams or squeeze onto their morning trains it will be clearly ridiculous to claim that their eyes are deceiving them and there is not a problem simply because places like the Maldives or Mayotte have higher population densities than England."
