5. Changes to the Migration Statistics Quarterly Report and Understanding Long-term International Migration and provisional estimates Changes to the MSQR This edition is structured differently from previous editions. The report is now structured according to the questions What do the latest figures show? Who is migrating? Why are people migrating to and from the UK? The supporting information (such as comparisons of sources) has been moved to the User Information document. This is so that readers of the MSQR can quickly learn what the latest statistics are telling us about international migration to and from the UK in a concise report. If readers want to know more about how data sources compare or further information, this can be found in the MSQR User Information. Statistics that show little change from quarter to quarter have been removed from the quarterly report and will be reported annually (from November). These are statistics on the non-UK born and non-British national residents and moves within the UK. Although these topics will be reported annually, where quarterly data are available, links to these datasets will continue to be included in the ‘List of Products’ section. The section discussing migration to the UK for work or study will also be reported on annually and may form part of a series of topic-based reports. This work is currently being developed. The Worker Registration Scheme (WRS) ceased on 30 April 2011 and will no longer be included in this report.

Final data for 2010 will be published in November 2011. The data are provided from two sources: 1. International Passenger Survey (IPS) estimates. 2. Long Term Estimates of International Migration (LTIM). To create LTIM the IPS estimates are adjusted to take account of: • people whose length of stay changes from their original intentions • additional information on international migration to and from Northern Ireland • asylum seekers The IPS estimates provide further detail than is available from LTIM.
