Migration out of the UK

Within the UK an exodus of Londoners from the city - at a rate of 20,000 a month - has been blamed on rising house prices in the capital.
Young families in particular are being priced out of the capital, which saw 243,000 residents heading for other parts of the country between June 2005 and June last year.
Nearly 200,000 of the migrants were British citizens, according to the statistics.
