Undocumented Migrants: Public Opinion
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 2 December to Question 15294 on Undocumented Migrants: Public Opinion, if she will publish a breakdown of (a) companies contracted by the Department for polling on irregular migration and (b) the cost to the public purse of this polling.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
A polling contract is currently in place with Savanta Group Limited. This two-year contract commenced in August 2023 and is available online on Contracts Finder. Spend on irregular migration polling cannot be provided. The department polls on a range of policy areas and spend on irregular migration cannot be disaggregated from total spend.
We have no plans to publish all polling results on irregular migration. However, the department does regularly publish a range of statistics, research and evaluation on migration, which is available on gov.uk.
