<p>Exit checks were introduced in April 2015. They will, over a period of time, provide
us with a range of insights into the behaviours of migrants and how they comply with
restrictions placed upon their length of stay in the UK.</p><p>Data collected from
exit checks is a record of cross border movement. It may in the future help inform
but will not in itself answer questions on emigration.</p><p>The Home Office has announced
that it is considering the use of exit checks data for statistical reporting and intends
to publish an initial evaluation of the use of exit checks for this purpose. The evaluation
will be a technical assessment of the analysis carried out thus far and of the further
analysis necessary to better understand short, medium, and long term opportunities.</p><p>The
initial evaluation of the use of exit checks will be published on 25 August to coincide
with the next quarterly immigration statistics release.</p><p>Publication of the initial
evaluation on the use of exit checks will be on the GOV.UK website</p>
