HC Deb 01 May 1969 vol 782 cc1606-7
34. Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been the net increase in Commonwealth immigrants during the first four months of 1969.

Mr. Callaghan

During the first quarter of 1969 10,118 Commonwealth citizens were admitted for settlement. This represents a decrease of about 25 per cent. on the corresponding figure last year. In addition 1,652 United Kingdom passport holders were admitted. I do not have the numbers of those who left during this period.
