Undocumented Migrants

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an estimate of the number of irregular migrants who do not have an up-to-date address registered by her Department.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

Obtaining the specific information requested would involve collating and verifying information from multiple systems owned by multiple teams across the Home Office and, therefore, could only be obtained for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
