Letter to Lord Renton from the National Statistician, dated December 2001.
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent question concerning the number of people that are living in the United Kingdom who are not United Kingdom citizens. [HL1787]
The Office for National Statistics does not produce population estimates by citizenship. The Labour Force Survey (LFS) does however include a question on nationality, which can be used to provide estimates of the number of people who are not of UK nationality. It is estimated from the LFS that the number of people who were resident in private households in the United Kingdom in 2000, who were not of UK nationality, was almost 2.5 million.
