Introduction
The United Kingdom has traditionally been one of the main source and destination countries of New Zealand’s permanent and long-term (PLT) migrants. Latest census figures from the United Kingdom showed 58,300 people born in New Zealand living there in 2001. Results from New Zealand’s 2006 Census showed that 244,800 people or 6 percent of the population were born in the United Kingdom. This was well ahead of the next largest overseas-born groups – 78,100 people were born in China and 62,600 were born in Australia. Of those born in the United Kingdom, 61 percent had been living in New Zealand for 20 years or more.
