Only India provided more immigrants to the UK with 92,000.
A record 380,000 people left the UK in 2005.
Of those, 198,000 were British citizens leaving for more than a year, up on 159,000in 2001. In 2005, an estimated 565,000 migrants arrived in the UK to stay for atleast a year, which was down on the 2004 estimate.
Many migrants arriving in Britain intended to stay for one or two years, while alarge proportion of those leaving intended to stay away for more than four years.
An estimated 1,500 people arrive to live in Britain each day.
Next year, Britain will adopt an Australian-style model for restricting immigrationto those with skills in need.
British Immigration Minister Liam Byrne unveiled the timetable for introducing thepoints-based system during a fact-finding visit to Sydney this week.
Australia uses a similar system to attract migrants with in-demand skills and rejectthose who would compete with local workers for unskilled jobs.
