§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) how many people have emigrated from the United Kingdom in the last 10 years; and if he will provide a breakdown by age and nationality. [38207]
(2) how many immigrants have entered the United Kingdom in the last 10 years; and if he will provide a breakdown by age and nationality. [38208]
§ Mr. SackvilleThe information for the years 1983 to 1992 is published in tables 2.1 and 2.9 of "International Migration, 1992". Information for 1993 is published in tables 17 and 19 of "Population Trends", volume 81. Copies of these publications are available in the Library.
These tables do not include people migrating to or from the Irish Republic and it is also highly likely they exclude people admitted as short-term visitors who are subsequently granted an extension of stay for a year or longer, for example as students, on the basis of marriage, or because they applied for asylum. Estimates of net international migration from 1986 to 1993, including such people, are given on page 5 of "Population Trends", volume 81.
