LONDON, Sha'ban 03, 1436, May 21, 2015, SPA -- Net migration to Britain reached 318,000 in 2014, its highest level since 2005, official data showed on Thursday, a political setback for Prime Minister David Cameron who has pledged to reduce the figure to less than 100,000 annually, according to Reuters. The Office for National Statistics data showed a net 318,000 people moved to Britain in 2014, against 209,000 in 2013. It called the rise "a statistically significant increase," saying it was just below a previous peak of 320,000 in 2005. --SPA 12:10 LOCAL TIME 09:10 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
