§ SIR G. BADEN-POWELL (Liverpool, Kirkdale)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state what is the total number of the resident civilian population in Gibraltar, and what proportion is engaged in industries or employments not connected with the supply of the needs of the garrison or the maintenance of the works of that fortress?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON, Tower Hamlets, Poplar)I may perhaps be allowed to answer this question. According to the Census of 1891 the total civil population of Gibraltar consisted of 16,759 British subjects and 2,341 aliens—total, 19,100. It is impossible to state what proportion of this population is engaged in industries or employments not connected with the supply of the needs of the garrison or the maintenance of the works of the fortress, but the details of the occupations of the population will be found in the Census Report.
