I just sent this email to Theresa May...... others might wish to request their MP's query this apparent discrepancy in Govt figures :-
Dear Theresa
Official statistics issued this week state that 53000 Romanian and Bulgarians moved to Britain in the last 12 month period. Separate figures this week from the Dept for Work and Pensions show that 214000 citizens of these countries were issued with NI numbers in the year ended June 2015
Please explain this huge discrepancy and advise the correct number of how many of these people have moved to the UK in the last 12 months. It’s no surprise to most people that the Government refused to estimate how many would come here following the end of restrictions on 1/1/2014.
Best regards
