question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 23 March 2017 (HL5996), what estimate they have made of the contribution of non-UK EU nationals living in the UK to the UK’s gross domestic product per head; and what assessment they have made of that contribution.

uin	HL6310
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/04/2017 answer text <p>Productivity is a key determinant of GDP per head. As noted in the 2012 report by the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), the empirical literature suggests that the impact of migration on aggregate productivity may be mixed and heavily dependent on the type of migrant coming to the UK. Migrants may increase productivity either through a simple ‘batting average’ effect if they work in higher productivity roles relative to the average for non-migrants, or through increasing the productivity of UK workers through greater specialisation and knowledge transfer.</p><p> </p><p>In this report, the MAC established the key role played by skilled migrants in raising productivity. Further, the 2014 MAC report, ‘Migrants in low-skilled work’, found low skilled migrants have a neutral impact on UK-born employment rates, GDP per head and productivity.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 07/04/2017 12:37:02 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the analysis by HM Revenue and Customs <i>Further Tax Credit Statistics on EEA Nationals</i>, published on 25 August, how many individuals who were recorded as being (1) Bulgarian, and (2) Romanian, nationals at the time of issue of their National Insurance numbers claimed (a) tax credits, and (b) child benefit, in 2014–15; and what was the amount of those claims.

HMRC information on EEA nationals is complex and the data should be considered in its totality, as set out in that August publication, in order to get as comprehensive and complete a picture as possible. The data on the amount of National Insurance and Income Tax paid for 2014/15 will not be available until spring 2017, and will be published alongside tax credits and Child Benefit data in due course.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 26/09/2016 14:59:47 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>HM Treasury did not produce a forecast of how big the economy would be in 15 years’ time. The analysis of the long-term economic impact of EU membership and the alternatives, provided an assessment of the difference in the size of the economy under the alternatives to EU membership for a given economic forecast. This showed that GDP would be 3.8% lower in an EEA arrangement, 6.2% lower in a negotiated bilateral agreement and 7.5% lower in a WTO arrangement. These are all central estimates.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord O'Neill of Gatley question first answered 26/05/2016 16:41:38 answering member 4536 label Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what estimate they have made of the (1) EU GDP, and (2) UK GDP, per household in 2030 in each of the three scenarios in the HM Treasury analysis <i>The long-term economic impact of EU membership and the alternatives</i> (Cm 9250) published on 18 April.
tabling member printed	Lord Green of Deddington
uin	HL7841
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2016 answer text <p>In <em>‘HM Treasury analysis: the long-term economic impact of EU membership and the alternatives</em>’ the central estimates for the annual loss of UK GDP under the 3 alternatives (relative to remaining in the EU) in 2030 are: 3.8% in the case of the EEA, 6.2% in the case of a negotiated bilateral agreement, and 7.5% in the WTO case. Expressed in 2015 terms that means a loss of GDP per household of £2,600 for the EEA case; £4,300 for the negotiated bilateral agreement case; and £5,200 for the WTO case.</p><p> </p><p>No estimate has been made of the impact on the EU GDP per household. This reflects a cautious approach, as, for example, the main estimates for the effect of leaving the EU do not take into account the negative economic impacts on the rest of the EU as a result of UK exit or the possible foregone benefits to the UK of future EU reform.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Neill of Gatley question first answered 06/05/2016 12:24:37 answering member 4536 label Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the change in United Kingdom per capita gross domestic product that they would expect over the next five-year forecast period if net migration was at 165,000 a year.
tabling member printed	Lord Green of Deddington
uin	HL5915
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2015 answer text <p>The government does not forecast either UK GDP or GDP per capita. The independent OBR in the March 2015 Economic and Fiscal Outlook (EFO) used the central ONS migration population projection. The ONS central migration projection is for net migration of 165,000 a year in 2018/19 and 2019/20. In the March 2015 EFO the OBR forecast that UK GDP per capita for those aged 16 and over will increase by 9.2% total between 2014 and 2019.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In order to inform policy making, the government reviews and notes the wider evidence on the economic and productivity impacts of immigration on an ongoing basis. This evidence base includes the wider academic literature, and a range of reports commissioned or produced by the government looking at specific impacts, for example those produced by the independent Migration Advisory Committee. In addition, policies that influence migration are assessed using the government's impact assessment process which models the economic impact of the policy change using assumptions based on a range of evidence and the academic literature. Home Office Impact Assessments are published on gov.uk.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Deighton grouped question UIN HL5917 question first answered 26/03/2015 13:57:24 answering member 4262 label Biography information for Lord Deighton
