Migration Statistics

Proceeding contribution from Adam Afriyie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 June 2014. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Migration Statistics.

I appreciate some of the assurances the Minister is giving. General key concerns are whether the changes to which he is referring—I appreciate that they are not all in place—will mitigate the criticisms or observations by the Royal Statistical Society and the Oxford migration observatory that with the present statistics and information we cannot at the moment work out reliably people’s source country or changes in the migratory patterns from individual source countries in the EU or elsewhere, and the impact on specific regions in the United Kingdom. Is he satisfied that with the changes being made those concerns will be mitigated?
