The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will collect data on family remittances from the UK.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office does not collect or report this data on the flow of family remittances out of the UK. The best source is the World Bank Group's remittance data which captures flows through formal banking systems and is published annually.
