Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 30 March 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many British nationals he estimates are resident in (a) Brazil, (b) Russia, (c) India and (d) China.
British nationals resident overseas are not obliged to inform our embassies or consulates of their presence although we actively encourage them to do so. Therefore, our estimates are based on the number of those nationals who we understand have been issued resident permits, or made themselves known to the embassies, and from publicly available research. We estimate:
Brazil-in the region of 10,000 British nationals permanently resident;
Russia-in the region of 7,000 British nationals permanently resident;
India-in the region of 34,000 British nationals permanently resident, rising to around 51,000 at certain times of the year;
China-in the region of 17,000 British nationals permanently resident.
