HC Deb 14 March 1917 vol 91 c1119W
Mr. SHIRLEY BENN

asked the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether he can inform the House as to the number and nationality of immigrants arriving in the United Kingdom during the months of January and February?

Sir G. CAVE

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. Under the pressure of War work it is not possible to furnish detailed statistics of the kind indicated. But if my hon. Friend will let me know more precisely what he desires I will gladly see whether I can give him any information.
