Living abroad: migration between Britain and Spain

The first in a series being published to provide more information on British citizens living in the European Union (EU), and EU citizens living in the UK.

The population of British citizens resident in Spain was 296,600 in 2016. 

121,000 (40%) British residents in Spain were aged 65 and over in 2016; this number has more than doubled since 2006.

In addition, there were 219,000 visits of between 1 and 12 months to Spain by British citizens in the year to June 2015; such visits are mainly for "other" purposes – that is, not for work or study.

Cancer survival in England: adult, stage at diagnosis and childhood – patients followed up to 2016

Among the 25 cancers forming the National Statistics, 1-year survival was highest for melanoma of the skin in both men (97.1%) and women (98.5%) and 5-year survival was highest for testicular cancer in men (95.9%) and melanoma of the skin in women (93.9%).

Pancreatic cancer had the lowest 1-year survival for men (22.9%) and women (24.7%) and 5-year survival was the lowest for mesothelioma for men (5.5%) and women (3.4%).


Building and stocking the survey question library

ONS is on a journey to better serve the UK by improving the quality of our statistics and the processes by which they are produced. 

Over the last month, our data analytics apprentices have been working on an important project to build a question library. This will be the digital store of all the questions we ask on our surveys, the information which describes those questions, and all the information on how they are used to compile our statistics. Most importantly, it makes this information digitally accessible.

Visit the Data Science Campus blog to find out more about the project and how it will help us to transform the way we collect data.

Sustainable Development Goals consultation

We've launched a consultation on the Sustainable Development Goals today.

The purpose of the consultation will be to seek feedback on ONS's approach to the measurement and reporting of UK progress against the global indicators that underpin the Sustainable Development Goals. 

Whether you provide data to feed into these measures, analyse this data or would use them to support your policy making, we encourage you to take part.

Your feedback will help us effectively measure the UK's progress against the goals and disseminate this information in ways that are meaningful and help us move to a better, sustainable future.

Take part in our consultation

If you have any further inquiries please do contact the team via email at: SustainableDevelopment@ons.gov.uk.
