"the Office for National Statistics to estimate illegal migration level using different data sources such as police encounters and NHS health data:"

I have to fill out an enormous number of impertinent surveys from the ONS every month, rather than them obtaining the data from other government departments we already report to (HMRC, for instance), so forgive me if I don't think thus will ever happen. (If anyone from the ONS is reading this, your surveys are a time wasting drain on business resources and you should learn to play nicely with other government departments for the information you need).
