More than 152,000 Romanians registered for National Insurance (NI) numbers in 2014/15 - a key indicator of immigration levels - compared with just 47,000 in 2013.
The total for all nationalities was up by more than a third year-on-year to 824,000, including 629,000 from the EU, 100,000 from Asia and 79,000 from the rest of the world.
Registrations from Bulgaria – whose citizens won full access to the British job market at the same time as Romanians at the start of last year – also rose starkly.
There were 17,800 arrivals from Bulgaria in 2013/14 compared with 40,600 last year, an increase of nearly 28 per cent and the highest number on record
Those figures are getting scaryI also heard mention on BBC News there are now 800,000+ Polish in the UK, that figure is NOT correct, if it were double that they would be somewhere nearer the truth, It doesnt matter who the Government is it HAS to be reduced drastically to somewhere around 100,000 per year, the present figures are scary and cant be maintained, the present figures are immigration equivelant to a City the size of Birmingham every three years..
