HC Deb 01 July 1930 vol 240 c1796W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Home Secretary if any statistics are kept as to the number of foreign tourists visiting this country; and, if so, whether he will state the numbers for each of the last three years?

Mr. CLYNES

All the available statistics are published quarterly and yearly, and in these tourists are not disguished from other visitors on holiday. The returns show that in 1927, 1928 and 1929, 205,348, 224,815 and 238,391 alien visitors on holiday were given leave to land at ports in this country.
