title: Using data from overseas to improve estimates of emigration.
abstract: Migration figures are notoriously problematic to compile, and this is primarily due to complexities in establishing the size and composition of those leaving the UK to live overseas. This article summarises an Office for National Statistics (ONS) investigation into the potential use of data held by countries receiving UK citizens in order to improve the accuracy of emigration figures.
