Lord Lament of Lerwickasked Her Majesty's Government:
What projected levels of net migration have been assumed in the current and previous set of household projections in England. [HL103]
§ The Minister of State, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (Lord Rooker)Household projections use projected levels of net migration from the Government Actuary's Department (GAD).
The 1996 based household projections were linked to the GAD 1996 based population projections. The latter included a long-term net migration assumption of + 66,000 people per annum in England.
The 2002 based interim household projections were linked to the GAD 2002 based population projections. The latter included long-term net migration assumption of 124,000 per annum for England. This was offset by a downward adjustment of 25,000 per annum that the Office for National Statistics (ONS) termed "unattributable change". This gave a "net migration and other changes" estimate of 99,000 per annum. The 91WA "unattributable change" was ONS' estimated correction for difficulties in estimating emigration accurately and accounting for people spending part of their time in the UK and part abroad. This was revealed by the 2001 Census. ONS has since reviewed this adjustment and concluded that it is now not required.
§ Lord Lamont of Lerwickasked Her Majesty's Government:
What the total net migration in England was for each year from 1950 to 2003. [HL105]
§ Lord RookerThe Office for National Statistics has made the estimates of net international migration to England shown in the attached table. These estimates are available from 1964 through to 2002, as they are based on a survey that started in 1964.

This increase was a result of more people entering England as well as fewer English citizens leaving. In 1998 the inflow of people rose from 298,700 in 1997 up to 361,200. The outflow fell from 238,800 in 1997 to 216,700 in 1998. The highest increase in net inflow was from migrants coming from the Old Commonwealth, particularly from Australia and South Africa.
