Letter from John Pullinger CB, National Statistician, to The Lord Empey, dated 24 July 2018.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

Dear Lord Empey,<\/p>

<\/p>

As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am replying to your Parliamentary Question asking what assessment has been made of any change in immigration numbers from non-EU countries between the last two years for which figures are available (<\/strong>HL9690)<\/strong>; and how many non-EU immigrants entered the UK in the last year for which figures are available, broken down by country of origin (HL9692)<\/strong>.<\/p>

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) released the latest estimates (for the year ending December 2017) of Long-Term International Migration (LTIM) on 16 July 2018[1]. Table 1 shows the immigration, emigration and net migration estimates for the UK of non-EU citizens for years ending December 2016 and December 2017 and the Confidence Intervals (CI) associated with these estimates.<\/p>

Non-EU immigration (311,000) is similar to the level seen in 2011. The latest increase (Table 1) follows a low level of non-EU study immigration in the year ending September 2016, which was not reflected in the most comparable visa and Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) data. We therefore advise users to avoid comparing the latest year on year change for students and non-EU migration as a whole, but instead to look at the broader evidence and longer time series, allowing a better assessment of trends and showing that non-EU immigration has remained relatively stable over the past few years.<\/p>

Within the latest publication an illustrative revised trend was used to adjust for the unusual pattern in the non-EU student immigration in the year ending September 2016 and we concluded that net migration has been broadly stable over the last year.<\/p>

Estimates of LTIM to and from the UK are produced by ONS primarily based on data from the International Passenger Survey (IPS), with adjustments made for asylum seekers and people whose intentions change regarding their length of stay. Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) data on migration to and from Northern Ireland, based on GP registrations. LTIM estimates are based on the United Nations definition of a long-term international migrant, that is, someone who changes their country of usual residence for a period of one year or more. Further detail on the methodology related to international migration is available via the ONS website[2].<\/p>

The latest available estimates of long term international migration of non-EU immigrants entering the UK broken down by country of last residence (assumed to align to country of origin in your question) is for year ending December 2016 from the International Passenger Survey (IPS). A breakdown by country of last residence can be found in the table International Passenger Survey 3.01, Citizenship by Country of Last or Next Residence and is summarised in Table 2[3].<\/p>

The Ministerial Code states that Ministers must ensure that no conflict arises, or could reasonably be perceived to arise, between their public duties and their private interests, financial or otherwise<\/p>

<\/p>

On appointment to office, Ministers provide their Permanent Secretary with a written list of all relevant interests known to them, which might be thought to give rise to a conflict. This is a requirement of the Ministerial Code. The personal information which Ministers disclose is treated in confidence, however, a list of those interests which are relevant to the Minister\u2019s portfolio is published online.<\/p>

<\/p>

The list includes relevant interests which are additional to those already disclosed in the Parliamentary Registers.<\/p>

<\/p>

A statement covering relevant Ministers' interests is published twice yearly. The last list is attached and the next list will be published shortly<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s view remains that the current Business Appointment Rules system provides the right balance between preventing conflicts of interest, and ensuring the public sector can attract the skills and capability it needs, whilst also recognising the common law freedoms of individuals to earn a living without unreasonable hindrance.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, as set out in the Government response to the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee\u2019s most recent report on the subject, we have introduced a number of administrative changes to strengthen the process at a Departmental level, and ensure consistency in the way the Rules are applied. This includes issuing new guidance to Departments on administering the Rules, and requiring the Chairs of Departmental Audit and Risk Committees to take responsibility for monitoring compliance with the Rules as part of their existing governance processes.<\/p>

The full Government response is attached.<\/p>
