Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Julian Brazier, dated 8 June 2004:
As National Statistician and Registrar General for England and Wales, I have been asked to reply to your recent question asking what estimate has been made of the number of (a) migrants in the UK and (b) dependent children of migrants aged under 16 years who were born (i) in and (ii) outside the UK. (177445)
For the purposes of this question, a 'migrant' is taken to be a person resident in the UK who was born in another country. The 2001 Census estimated that 4,643,086 residents of England and Wales were born outside the UK: this represents 8.9 per cent. of the total population of England and Wales. The figure can be derived from table KS05 in the "Census 2001 Key Statistics for local authorities in England and Wales " report which is available in the House of Commons Library.
Information on the country of birth of the dependent children of such 'migrants' is currently unavailable. However, you may wish to note that the Census recorded a total of 11,665,266 dependent children in England and Wales, of which 430,623 were born outside the UK. These figures are provided in table T12 in the "Census 2001 National report for England and Wales", which is also available in the House of Commons Library.
The above figures for people born outside the UK will include people born in the Republic of Ireland and some UK citizens who happen to be born outside the UK, such as children born to Armed Forces personnel when the family was stationed overseas.
Mr. Alan Duncan: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the net non-EU migration to the UK in each year since 1979. [177089]
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. Alan Duncan, dated 8 June 2004:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your question regarding estimates of net non-European Union migration to the United Kingdom since 1979. (177089)
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 nonEU 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.
