Department for Communities and Local Government

According to page 35 of the report: "The Kurdish community in the UK is estimated to be about 50,000, among which Iraqi Kurds make up the largest group, exceeding the numbers from Turkey and Iran. Iraqi Kurds in the UK are a diverse group religiously – predominantly Sunni, but also Shi’a and secular. They are reported by respondents to be the most highly marginalized group within the Iraqi diaspora. Respondents also suggested that there are some ethnic divisions in London between Arabs and Kurds and that the Iraqi Kurdish community remains relatively separated from the other Iraqi communities, though on an individual basis Iraqi Kurds may mix with Iraqis of Arab origin. For Iraqi Muslim Kurds in London the tendency to be marginalised by the Iraqi community is still a major problem and is reported to reflect its experience in Iraq.

This keeps being changed by a user to: Kurdish community in the UK is about 250,000[1] , among which Iraqi Kurds make up the largest group, exceeding the numbers from Turkey and Iran.

Cleary the DCG does not say this. Pease may users ensure that this manipulation does not continue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.235.119 (talk) 21:06, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May users also note that footnote one which the user has placed to "support" 250,000 actually says:

""The local authorities of Hackney and Haringey...estimate the figures to be around 25,000 and 30,000 respectively, but it is acknowledged that these are just estimates rather than accurate figures."

Hence, again, these source does not backup the statement being made either.
