The UK’s settlement scheme for resident EU citizens had, by the end of May, received more than 5.6 million applications. There was a month to go and the applications were still flooding in, so maybe the final total would be around 6 million.

The latest ONS figures published last year for the number of EU citizens resident in the UK was 3.7 million.
