SIR J. COLOMB&c.) (Tower Hamlets, Bow,I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether arrangements can be made for the more frequent publication of Returns of Alien Immigration; and, if so, whether he will take steps to secure the publication of a monthly Return, if possible?
§ *SIR M. HICKS BEACHAs I think it very desirable that authentic information on the subject to which my hon. Friend refers should be available at the earliest possible moment, I have given instructions for the Returns to be published monthly in future in the same way as the Emigration Statistics.
