Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their estimate of the number of nationals of other EU states who will leave the UK between now and the end of the Brexit transition period; and what are the principal skills categories expected to be affected by their departure, if any.

The Government has commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy, ahead of our exit from the EU. Their independent advice will inform our decisions about future immigration arrangements.

Additionally, the Government is undertaking a wide range of ongoing analysis in support of our EU exit negotiations and preparations. Our overall programme of work is comprehensive, thorough and is continuously updated. The Government is examining all areas of the UK economy and seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders.
