Official data from the Office of National Statistics shows that around 760,000 EU migrants have settled in the UK in the last four years.
Those figures come from the International Passenger Survey which sees face-to-face interviews with people flying into Britain. Another survey of Britain's Labour force suggests a slightly lower figure of around 525,000.
However, a recent spike in the number of EU migrants being given National Insurance numbers has seen experts raise questions of the accuracy of that data.
A total of almost two million EU migrants have been allocated national insurance numbers in the last four years – far higher than the 760,000 counted into Britain via surveys.
Although a significant number of those people may have left the country, the Government was asked in a Freedom of Information request to release data it has on how many of those two million National Insurance numbers are “active”, in order to give a much more accurate picture of how many migrants are currently living in the UK.

It's going to be close. I think it'll turn out like Scotland: nobody was worried too much until it started to look like the emotional hot-heads were in danger of winning and then it got serious; the cooler heads turned out to vote en masse and ultimately prevailed.Will work inside IR35.
