<p>The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
I have therefore asked the Authority to respond.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong><br></strong>Dear
Lady Bennett,<strong><br></strong></p><p> </p><p>As National Statistician and Chief
Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question
asking what the fatality rate from COVID-19 is among (1) individuals with a residence
permit with the condition of no recourse to public funds, and (2) individuals who
are not subject to the residency condition of no recourse to public funds (HL9704).</p><p>The
Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes statistics on deaths in England and
Wales. Mortality statistics are based on the information provided by doctors and coroners
through death registration, which focuses on the causes of death and does not include
all the circumstances of the deceased. We are unable to provide figures related to
residency status.</p><p> </p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p>Professor Sir Ian Diamond</p><p>
</p>
