HC Deb 28 February 1890 vol 341 cc1503-4
MR. DAVID THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if in future Emigration Returns he will cause to be stated separately the number and destinations of passengers of Welsh nationality leaving the United Kingdom for places out of Europe in each year, as is at present done in the case of Irish and Scotch emigrants?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE (Sir M. HICKS BEACH, Bristol, W.)

The Acts under which the Returns are obtained do not confer power for effecting the modifications suggested by the hon. Member.
