answer text: [holding answer 13 October 2008]: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated October 2008:"As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking how many people in employment in the UK were (a) UK citizens, (b) citizens of other EU states and (c) citizens of non EU states in each year since 1978. (226635)""The attached table gives the number of people in employment for the categories requested, from April-June 1995 to April-June 2008. Comparable data prior to 1995 are not available. The table excludes those whose nationality is not known.""Citizenship is defined as the nationality reported by respondents at the time of the survey.""The estimates are derived from the Labour Force Survey. As with any sample survey, estimates from the LFS are subject to a margin of uncertainty.""The figures in the table are derived from the LFS microdata which are weighted using the official population estimates published in autumn 2007. They are not entirely consistent with the figures published in the monthly Labour Market Statistics First Release which are weighted using more up-to-date population estimates."
