Migration statistics: do the official figures meet the needs?
Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London EC1Y 8LX
Both the Home Office and ONS have been undertaking extensive work to improve the quality, range and presentation of international migration statistics for the UK. This is an area of great political sensitivity and it is vital that the policy debate is informed by robust and trusted evidence. The speakers will outline what has been achieved so far and plans for the future. Professor John Salt from the UCL Migration Research Unit will give an external perspective on progress so far. The speakers are amongst the most knowledgeable and experienced in this field and there will be an opportunity to question them about this important set of statistics.
