London - Britain's government has failed to deliver a promised cut in immigration, statistics showed on Thursday, ahead of a closely-fought general election in May in which it will be a key issue.
Prime Minister David Cameron had pledged in 2011 to reduce net migration to below 100 000 by the end of the current parliamentary term.
But the last set of numbers from the Office for National Statistics before 7 May's election put the figure at 298 000 in the year to September.
