Thank you for your Freedom of Information request regarding migrants into the UK.
The Home Office may be better placed to be able to answer queries 1, 4 and 5. They can be contacted at foirequests@homeoffice.gov.uk.
Unfortunately, we do not currently hold analysis on international migration for 2021. Our latest estimates of long-term international migration are to December 2020.
We also do not hold current information on illegal migration. Measuring illegal migration - our current view sets out our (jointly with the Home Office) position on the difficulties of measuring illegal migration.
