Claims being made about removing nationality and country of birth questions from future censuses are untrue. No decisions have been taken on the future of the census. We will continue to publish analysis of the non-UK born population.

Full statement ➡️ ow.ly/c0qq50LQZk2
We are reviewing the best methods to produce estimates of the UK population as part of our transformation of population and migration statistics. We plan to produce our next estimates of the non-UK born population in 2023.
The National Statistician will make a recommendation to the UK government at the end of 2023 on how we can best continue producing frequent, timely and inclusive population and social statistics.
