§ 101. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what were the numbers of people entering Northern Rhodesia in the years 1948, 1949 and 1950; and how many of these came from the Union of South Africa.
Mr. DugdaleThe figures are as follow:
—— Total Number of Immigrants South African Nationals 1948 5,516 2,392 1949 6,533 3,146 1950 (1st January 30th September) 5,692 3,252 The figures for the last quarter of 1950 are not yet available. It is estimated that 50 per cent. of immigration into Northern Rhodesia from the Union of South Africa is offset by re-emigration and that 25 per cent. of immigration from the United Kingdom is similarly offset.
