The Inter-departmental Migration Task Force Report
Product
Provides access to the recommendations of the Inter-Departmental Task Force on Migration Statistics, set up by the National Statistician to advise on timely improvements that could be made to estimates of migration and migrant populations in the UK, both nationally and at local level.
The recommendations are designed to provide better migration data between 2008 and 2012 in this complex area, delivering more comprehensive, timely UK statistics, including those on short term migration. They cover port surveys, population surveys and the 2011 Census, timely access to administrative information, better links between information from administrative sources and better statistical techniques.
