Question
Will the Chief Minister advise -
- how many individuals have registered at the Social Security Department in the months of July, August and September, excluding licensed, entitled to work and entitled persons?
- how many of those individuals were new arrivals to the Island;
- the age, sex and country of origin of those individuals;

Answer
- 669 individuals (aged 16 or over) arrived or returned to the island inthe months of July, August and September and were issued with a CHWL card with "registered" status. This excludes licensed, entitled for work, and entitled persons.
(People need registration cards when they move house or change jobs, or if they are in the Island for more than 3 months having begun their residence after 1st July, 2013.)
- For comparison - while the new Control of Housing and Work Law only came into force on July 1st 2013, we can compare figures from 2013 and 2012 if we look at the number of people being issued with new Social Security numbers for this period.
- During the months of July, August and September 2013, the total figure for all the people who were issued with Social Security numbers (including registered, licensed, entitled for work, entitled and under-16s) was 1314.
- During the same period in 2012 that figure was 1280.
- These figures do not take into account the number of people who left the island
during the same period.
- 446 individuals over the age of 16 were new to the Island;
