With reference to the following statement:
"Administrative data from HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC's) Migrant Worker Scan (MWS) linked to Pay As You Earn Real Time Information, recently used to weight the non-UK born population in the Annual Population Survey (APS), only provides information to June 2021 because of an underlying data issue with the MWS. Therefore, population growth for non-UK born and non-British nationals from the APS beyond June 2021 will not represent real changes until the data issue with the MWS is fixed."
Could you please send me the relevant APS which was used to generate this data up to June 2021?
