You asked

Please could you provide the numbers of Swiss national or dual nationals living in the UK as of the latest census?

Additionally, I'd like to know which ten areas of the UK have the highest population of Swiss nationals or dual nationals.

We said

Thank you for your freedom of information request. 

The associated download provides the number of people born in Switzerland for each local authority in England and Wales. The top 10 local authorities have been highlighted.

Detailed data for passports held, which would show dual nationality, is not available from the standard outputs but may be available as a bespoke dataset through our commissioned tables service. Please note that any table commissioned will have to pass our strict statistical disclosure control process to ensure there is no risk of disclosure of personal information in the table. More information on this process is available here: Protecting personal data in Census 2021 results - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk) 

Although the UK censuses historically take place on the same day they are run separately by each National Statistics Office (Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency (NISRA), National Records of Scotland (NRS), and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for both England and Wales).

The ONS is only responsible for the census for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland carry out their own census, their contact details are provided below.
