Asked by:

Answer
The Home Office is not able to make an estimate of the number of delivery drivers working illegally in the UK due to the difficulty in estimating the exact size of the irregular population.
No government has produced any official estimates since 2005. As described in joint work between the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Home Office, the definition and coverage of the irregular population is complex.
