| Annotation | It is important that migration is measured accurately, for example to inform population estimates and projections. However, current sources of information (the International Passenger Survey, IPS) present challenges in producing robust estimates of emigration from Great Britain. This article reports on work carried out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to investigate the potential for using administrative data sources to contribute to the measurement of emigration. It concentrates on information held by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on pension recipients living abroad; National Health Service (NHS) records for those reporting to their doctor that they are emigrating; and records held by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) on those surrendering their licence when they leave the country.
