Mr. Hayes: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the change in population arising from changes in
(a) net indigenous population and (b) net immigration in each decade to 2050, broken down by region. [187335]
Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. John Hayes, dated 7 September 2004:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your question concerning the change in population arising from changes in net
indigenous population and immigration in the decades to 2050, by region. (187335)
The attached table shows population projections at Government Office Region level for the years 2000, 2010 and 2020. These figures
are 1996-based and are the latest basis on which long-term subnational population projections are currently available. These
projections have a 25 year "horizon" and so only figures to 2020 are available at this geographical level.
The projected natural population change (number of births less number of deaths) and the assumed level of net international
migration, for each region, are also shown in the table. It should be noted that these two components are not independent, and that
the level of natural change projected for the future is itself partly dependent on the assumed level of net migration.
The figures shown in the table for England are not the latest 2002-based projections produced by GAD but are 1996-based to be
consistent with the subnational projections shown. Please note that these include a lower assumption for international migration
than the latest set which can be found at: http://www.gad.gov.uk/ Population/index.asp
A note considering the overall impact of assumed net migration on future population growth is available from the Government
Actuary's Department website at: http://www. gad.gov.uk/ Population/2002/methodology/mignote.htm. This is a UK level analysis from
GAD's latest (2002-based) national projections. Comparable analysis is not available for the 1996-based projections.
The Office for National Statistics will publish 2003-based subnational population projections on 16 November. Information
about this release can be found at:

Notes: 1. Data tor 1979-90 are based on the international Passenger Survey (IPS) only. Data for 1991-2002 are based mainly on data
from the IPS but also include adjustments for (1) those whose intended length of stay changes so that their migrant status changes;
(2) asylum seekers and their dependants not covered by the IPS; and (3) flows between the UK and the Republic of Ireland. This means
that figures for years from 1991 onwards include all categories of migrants and therefore represent total international migration,
while figures for years Drier to 1991 exclude certain categories. 2. The estimates for years from 1991 onwards are compiled using
the following main sources of migration data in addition to the IPS: Home Office data on asylum seekers and their dependants, and
people who entered the UK as short-term visitors but were subsequently granted an extension of stay for a year or longer for other
reasons, for example, as students or on the basis of marriage; and estimates of migration between the UK and the Irish Republic.

These estimates are shown in the attached table. The phrase "non-European Union migration" has been interpreted as referring to the
citizenship of migrants as opposed to, for example, their country of birth or country of last residence.
Please note that the definition for the European Union does not include the ten states that joined on 1 May 2004, nor does it
include the non--EU states in the European Economic Area. The countries included are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Letter from Len Cook to Mrs. Claire Curtis-Thomas, dated 26 January 2004:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your request for a statement on progress in establishing an appropriate
method for measuring net migration into the UK. (150333)
A substantial amount of work in this area has already been completed, and a program of further work is ongoing.
The results of the 2001 Census showed that the mid-year population estimates had over-estimated the population of the UK over the
previous decade. Subsequent research showed that this was partly because net migration into the country had been over-estimated. The
Office for National Statistics (ONS) made several improvements to the methodology for estimating total international migration,
making fuller use of the available sources. The improved methodology was used to produce the international migration estimates for
2001, and was also applied retrospectively from 1992 onwards in order to produce revised total international migration estimates for
the inter-censual decade. ONS released final revised international migration estimates for 1992-2001 in June 2003. The revised
methodology was used again to produce the 2002 international migration estimates published in November 2003, which are available on
the National Statistics website at the following address: http:// www.statistics.gov.uk/pdfdir/inme1103.pdf
It was already recognised that international migration is the hardest component of population change to measure before the results
of the 2001 Census were published. A National Statistics Quality Review of international migration statistics was initiated in March
2002. This was aimed at identifying the means of making the required improvements to the reliability and comprehensiveness of
international migration statistics. The National Statistics Quality Review report was published on the National Statistics website
in September 2003. Following the publication of this report, ONS produced an implementation plan for taking forward the review's
recommendations. This was published on the National Statistics website in January 2004. Both the review and the implementation plan
are available at the following address: http://www.statistlcs.gov.uk/methods quality/ quality review/population.asp
The work outlined in the implementation plan is already underway. ONS, in conjunction with the Home Office are working to complete
some of the actions identified by the end of 2004. Other actions are suitable for longer term planning, and in some cases are
dependent on developments in other government departments for their successful completion.

Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply.
Letter from Karren Dunnell to Mr. Nicholas Soames dated 9 December 2002:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question on the net inward migration of non-EU nationals in each of
the last five available years. I am replying in his absence.
The information requested is provided in the attached table which shows the interim revised net migration estimates for non- EU
nationals during the period 1997-2001.
These interim migration estimates are consistent with the results of the 2001 Consus. This showed that the population of the UK had
been overestimated between 1991 and 2000, mainly due to the overestimation of the net flow of international migrants into the UK.
For this reason, an adjustment has been made equivalent to the average annual overestimation of net migration since 1991. This is
approximately 76,000 each year. The first release of these interim revised estimates was made on Thursday, 28 November. More
information is available on the NS website: http:// wwwstatistics.gov.uk/about/Methodology by theme/downloads/ international
migration methodology.doc.

short- term visitors who are subsequently granted an extension of stay for other reasons--for example, as students or on the basis
of marriage. Migration flows between the UK and Irish Republic are also included. 2 Figures for all years show EU as it was

Mr. Lilley: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will publish figures showing the (a) population density and
(b) inflow of migrants in the most recent available year in each country of the EU. [80707]
Ruth Kelly: I have been asked to reply.
The information requested is the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply.
Letter from L. Cook to Mr. P Lilley, dated 20 November 2002:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your question concerning the population density and the number of migrants
for each country in the European Union. (80707)
The attached table, provided by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Commission, shows the population density and the
number of immigrants in each country in the European Union.
The immigration figures shown in the table are provided by the member states and are based on national definitions. Differences in
the definition of migrants by different countries can be very great. These differences mean that it is hard and occasionally
misleading to draw conclusions about the comparative scale of migration in the countries concerned.

Ruth Kelly: I have been asked to reply.
The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply.
Letter from John Kidgell to Mr. George Howarth, dated 4 January 2002:
The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question about the number of Gibraltarians resident in the United
Kingdom. (3202)
The Labour Force Survey (LFS) provides estimates of numbers of UK residents by country of birth and by nationality. The estimate of
the number of UK residents who were born in Gibraltar, based on an average over the 12 month period December 2002 to November 2001,
is 12,000. The LFS sample size is too small to provide a reliable estimate of the number of nationals to Gibraltar who are resident
in the UK.

Letter from Len Cook to Annabelle Ewing, dated 15 October 2001:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your question on migration to and from the constituent countries of the UK.
Tables 1&2 show inward and outward international migration by UK and non-UK EU citizens for the last 10 calendar years for which
data are available. Citizenship data are not available for internal migrants, i.e. those moving within the constituent countries of
the UK.
Table 3 shows the number of total migrants moving from and to England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland, rest of EU, and rest of the
world. Data for the Irish Republic are not available separately and are included with the rest of the EU.
Net migration for an individual country can be derived from the table by subtracting total outflow from a country, from total
inflow, for example, the net figure for England for 1999 is 170.3 thousand i.e. the inflow (528.4 thousand) minus the outflow (358.1
thousand).
