BRITISH migrants are shunning Melbourne and settling in cities with less cultural diversity, official figures show.
Despite the State Government embarking on a global campaign to recruit more migrants, Victoria is not attracting its fair share of arrivals from the Old Country.
In 2004-05, 2877 British-born people settled in Victoria, according to the latest Immigration Department data.
However, NSW attracted 3923 Britons, 4189 went to Queensland and more than 5000 settled in Western Australia.
