HC Deb 30 April 1925 vol 183 c314
21. Mr. RA I NE

asked the Home Secretary what is the number of Russian subjects admitted into the United Kingdom during the year ending 31st March, 1925, and what number was refused admission?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The number of Russians who were given leave to land in the United Kingdom during the year ended 31st March, 1925, was 8,741, and the number who left the United Kingdom during the same period was 8,747. The number refused leave to land was 55.

Mr. MACKINDER

Is not the large number due to the fact that the major proportion of them travel right across the country from Grimsby to Liverpool, and re-embark?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

No, those are not included. Transmigrants are not included in these figures.
