Our ambition is to use administrative sources at the core

• f evidence on migration in 2019
• Migrants interact with government in lots of different

ways, giving us a great opportunity for change.

• Digital Economy Act (DEA).
• Government Statistical Service (GSS).
• The DEA powers positions us well to work across

government to build an evidence base for the common good.

• Key priority data sets include:
• Home Office Admin data, HMRC tax and benefit

data.

• Working with experts in other government

departments will be vital to build on their expertise.

What could this look like?

Population and Migration Statistics Consultation – Autumn 2018

Consultation to understand user needs for transformed system, and gain feedback on research. Supported by:

• Part 1: Exploratory research illustrating definitions, methods and

approach to transforming the Pop Stats System

• Part 2: Exploratory research into non-EU Nationals and how they

impact on the economy

• Part 3: Exploratory research into EU Nationals travel patterns

Following this we will be continuing to work iteratively on our research as we build our data sources and understanding of user needs, in collaboration across the GSS.
