Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 22 July 2019 to Question 278478 on Immigration: EU Nationals, what mechanisms his Department has established to enable statistics users can make views known.

Home Office statistics are kept under review in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics, taking account of user needs. This includes requesting feedback in all our regular quarterly and annual statistical publications, as well as via the annual Migration Statistics User Forum conference, and the cross government improving migration and population statistics programme of work led by ONS.

In addition, we monitor the demand for Home Office statistics received through Parliamentary questions, Freedom of Information requests, requests from other government departments, stakeholders and the press.

We will be publishing the first quarterly statistical report on the EU Settlement Scheme, alongside our quarterly Immigration Statistics in August 2019, with a dedicated mechanism for providing feedback on the publication.
