answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>Published information on EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) applications and concluded applications by the applicant’s age to 31 December 2019, can be found in the Home Office’s ‘EU Settlement Scheme quarterly statistics’, statistics tables, tables EUSS_02 and EUSS_04 respectively, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/eu-settlement-scheme-quarterly-statistics-december-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/eu-settlement-scheme-quarterly-statistics-december-2019</a>.</p><p>The published figures refer specifically to applications made to the EUSS and cannot be directly compared with Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates of the resident population of EU/EEA nationals in the UK. The published EUSS figures include non-EEA family members, Irish nationals, and eligible EEA citizens not resident in the UK, none of whom are usually included in ONS estimates of the resident EU population. Furthermore, the population estimates do not take account of people’s migration intentions and will include people who have come to the UK for a range of purposes, including some who have no intention to settle in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 11/02/2020 15:28:16 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
