Number of residents leaving the island (FOI)

Request 

How many residents (5yrs and over) of age 18 and over have left the island in 2021 (per quarter), and Q1 and Q2 of 2022 (if this year's data is already available). thank you. 

Response 

The information required to answer this request is not held. 

There is no single channel by which government comprehensively collects information on people leaving the island, therefore it is not possible to give definitive total numbers of all customers who have told us they are leaving or have left the island. 

The Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 does not require a Scheduled Public Authority to manipulate or create new data sets in order to provide a response. 

Article 10 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies.  

However, information in response to a previous Freedom of Information request may be helpful:

Article applied

(1) Subject to paragraph (2), if –

(a) a person makes a request for information to a scheduled public authority; and

(b) the authority does not hold the information, it must inform the applicant accordingly.
