Mr. Philip Hammond: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer pursuant to his Answer of 22 February 2008, Official Report, column 1117W, on fraud in HM Revenue and Customs, what his estimate is of the cost to the public purse of the 35 investigations into suspected fraudulent activity by staff which have taken place since 1 April 2007. [193314]

Jane Kennedy: The information requested could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Immigration

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the level of migration (a) into and (b) out of Britain by (i) British citizens, (ii) non-British EU citizens and (iii) non-EU citizens in each age cohort was in each of the last 10 years. [196652]

31 Mar 2008 : Column 635W

Angela Eagle: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.

Letter from Jil Matheson, dated 31 March 2008:

The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the level of migration (a) into and (b) out of Britain by (i) British citizens (ii) non-British EU citizens and (iii) non-EU citizens was in each age cohort in each of the last 10 years. I am replying in her absence. (196652)

31 Mar 2008 : Column 636W

The most recent figures on levels of migration by citizenship and age are for 2006. Figures in the attached table are for the ten years 1997 to 2006 and are based on data from the International Passenger Survey (IPS).

The IPS has been used to provide information requested by citizenship and age because detailed cross tabulations such as these are not available using Total International Migration (TIM), the most comprehensive measure of long-term international migration into and out of the UK. This is due to the nature of the different data sources used to compile TIM estimates.

⁽¹⁾ Up to and including 2003, estimates are shown for the EU15 (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, the Irish Republic, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden). From 2004 onwards, the estimates are for the EU25 (EU15 plus the 10 countries of Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia). These countries are included in the definition for the whole of 2004. These data have been revised following changes to the TIM methodology. Therefore they may not agree with estimates that have been published previously. ⁽²⁾ No data (or less than half the final digit shown).
