The National Statistician has granted exceptional pre-release access to the publications 'Long-term international migration, provisional: year ending December 2023' and 'Reason for international migration, international students update: May 2024' for two representatives of PA Media (formerly Press Association). The publications were made available at 8:45am on 23 May 2024, ahead of publication on the ONS website at 9:30am on 23 May 2024. In the opinion of the National Statistician, the access is necessary to facilitate well-informed debate and support better public understanding of the statistics, in line with the rules and principles on pre-release access set out in the relevant UK legislation.
