HC Deb 29 March 1887 vol 312 c1777
CAPTAIN COLOMB (Tower Hamlets, Bow, &c.)

asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, Whether he can give any farther statistical information with regard to the emigration and immigration from and into the United Kingdom of foreigners to and from countries in Europe; and, whether he will consider the expediency of so altering the form of the statistical tables relative to emigration and immigration from and into the United Kingdom, as to more clearly distinguish between movement of population within the Empire, and loss of population to the Empire, by emigration beyond its limits?

THE SECRETARY (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)

A Memorandum on the subject of Emigration and Immigration (Statistics has been prepared in the Department of the Board of Trade, which fully answers all the questions raised by the hon. and gallant Gentleman. This Memorandum I will give to the House.
