A British newspaper has claimed that a record number of UK nationals are choosing to move overseas.

The News of the World said the number of Britons relocating abroad went up from 207,000 in 2006 to 250,000 last year.

According to the newspaper, the figures have come from as-yet unpublished government statistics.

If the figures are accurate, this means that outward migration from the UK rose by 21 per cent in 2007.

Paul Arthur, director of The Emigration Group, commented: "People [are] not just wanting to escape the bleak weather, but seeking a whole change of lifestyle."

He added that Australia was proving to be an especially popular destination with migrants from the UK, along with property in France and Spain.

A recent study by HSBC found that property in Australia is much cheaper than the UK, despite offering a comparable standard of living.
