§ 41. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many colonial citizens, with separate figures for coloured people, and how many foreigners, respectively, were resident in England and Wales at 30th June, 1956 and 1957.
§ Miss Hornsby-SmithThe number of foreigners registered with the police in England and Wales at 30th June, 1956, was 344,167, and at 30th June, 1957, 361,667. It is not possible to give similar figures of British subjects born in Colonial Territories, as they are free to enter the United Kingdom without formality. It is estimated, however, that the coloured population of Great Britain now amounts to about 180,000: this includes Commonwealth citizens as well as persons from Colonial Territories. It is not possible to give any separate estimate in respect of England and Wales.
