Rejected petition Publish the 'active' NI numbers issued to EU migrants ahead of the referendum.

HMRC refuses to publish figures that are necessary to make an informed decision on June 23rd's referendum. ONS figures show 904,000 EU migrants have arrived in Britain since 2010, but officials have issued 2.2m national insurance numbers to EU migrants. I would like to know the 'active' numbers.

"Officially", 257,000 EU nationals were said to have arrived last year, but 630,000 from the EU were given NI numbers. This includes 209,000 NI numbers given to Romanians and Bulgarians, despite only 55,000 officially settling here last year.
