Thank you for your Freedom of Information request regarding statistics about migration of people from other EU member states into the United Kingdom by country, the reasons for immigration and about any rises in Euroscepticism and anti-EU stances.
We publish information about long-term international immigration by citizenship and country of birth. In Table 4.01, Citizenship group by sex and age by country of last residence you will find estimates of the number of people from non-UK EU states who migrated into the UK.
Table 4.02, Main reason for migration by citizenship gives estimates by country of the main reason for migration. The latest figures are for 2017 and estimates are available back to 2000.
We don’t have any data relating to any rise in Euroscepticism, anti-EU stances or about people’s reasons for voting in a particular way. However, you may find the British Social Attitudes Survey run by the National Centre for Social Research of interest.
