Answer
By its very nature, it is not possible to know the exact size of the irregular migrant population. In June 2019, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published a note on ‘measuring illegal migration’.
The Home Office does publish statistics on detected irregular arrivals to the UK as part of the ‘Irregular migration to the UK’ quarterly statistics release.
