Letter from Len Cook to Mr. Frank Field, dated 8 June 2005:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question regarding estimates for the number of people migrating to the UK in each year between 1990 and 2004. (2581)
The methodology used to make estimates of international migration to and from the UK has been improved in recent years. The new methodology has been used to produce revised estimates back to 1991. Therefore the estimate for 1990 would not be directly comparable with those for other years. For this reason, the attached table shows estimates for 1991 onwards. The most recent estimates are for 2003. Estimates for 2004 will be published in November 2005.
These estimates are extracted from the annual reference volume "Series MN, International Migration". The most recent edition, "Series MN no.30, International migration, 2003", includes estimates for 1994 to 2003. Copies of this publication, and earlier editions, can be accessed at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/STATBASE/Product.asp?vlnk=507.
