Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government on what basis confidence intervals for responses to the International Passenger Survey are calculated.

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.

Immigrants who have come to the UK to work have brought significant benefits to Britain – we are a tolerant, welcoming nation encouraging the brightest and best to come to our shores. That will always be the case.

But it’s clear that there is no consent in Britain for uncontrolled migration from Europe.
