This statistic shows the result of a question from the British Social Attitudes survey which asked how the respondents think immigration policy should change, if at all. In total, 3 in 4 believed it should be, to some extent, reduced. 56 percent said that it should be reduced a lot.
How do you think the number of immigrants to Britain should be changed?*
* Original survey question:
"Do you think the number of immigrants to Britain nowadays should be increased a lot, increased a little, remain the same as it is, reduced a little or reduced a lot?"
Figures do not sum to 100 due to the effects of rounding.
