2. Summary Background and challenges What we collected How we derive Citizenship Results

3. Background Citizenship not collected in any UK Census Few requests from users for these data Information on Country of birth used instead ONS now required to deliver these data to Eurostat Required to baseline ONS Migration statistics

4. Challenges The UK is four countries AND one country Testing found that respondents did not understand the difference between terms i.e. Citizenship, Nationality and National identity Large proportion of population refused to answer a question where “United Kingdom” was only relevant response option Insisted that they were English, Welsh etc

5. Data Collected Question on Passports held asked instead Can be used as a proxy for citizenship Can analyse with Country of birth to derive more accurately
