Mr. Willetts: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of the population changed residence in each year since 1979. [219557] John Healey: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician. I have asked him to reply. Letter from Len Cook to Mr. David Willetts, dated 7 March 2005: As National Statistician and Registrar General for England and Wales, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what percentage of the population changed residence in each year since 1979. (219557) The Census obtains information about address changes in the year before the Census. The percentages of people who were listed as having changed address in the 1981, 1991 and 2001 Censuses are given in the table below. All people--England and Wales _________________________________________________________________________________________________. All people Percentage of these who changed address in the year before the Census 1981 48,521,596 9.45 1991 49,890,277 9.69 2001 52,041,916 12.18 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Sources: Table 2 in Census 1981 National Migration Great Britain part 2 (10% Tables), table 2 in 1991 Census Migration Great Britain part 2 (10% Tables) and Table KS24 Census 2001 National report for England and Wales part 2 The 1981 data has been taken from Table 2 in "Census 1981 National Migration Great Britain Part 2 (10% Tables)". The 1991 data has been taken from Table 2 in "1991 Census Migration Great Britain Part 2 (10% Tables)". The 2001 data has been taken from KS24 in the "Census 2001 National Report for England and Wales Part 2". All of these publications are available in the House of Commons Library. Data are not available for the other years requested. While ONS produces estimates for internal migration, the main data source used only records the number of moves based on patients moving across Former Health Service Authority boundaries, patients changing their doctor and re-registering. Therefore many local moves are not recorded in this administrative source. This reason means that the percentage of the population moving cannot be calculated from these data.
