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 Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster grouped question UIN 15148 question first answered 25/02/2020 17:24:22 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
