HC Deb 25 May 1936 vol 312 c1647
Mr. GROVES

asked the Home Secretary the number of Italians domiciled in Great Britain; how many of them are naturalised; and the numbers of them who have settled in Great Britain in each year since 1918, and how many of these are naturalized?

Mr. LLOYD

The number of Italians registered with the police in June, 1935, was approximately 21,500, which is about 6,000 less than the number registered in 1921, the earliest year for which figures were taken. Statistics covering the other points mentioned are not available, but the number of certificates of naturalisation granted to Italians since 1918 is 1,359.
