HC Deb 20 March 1952 vol 497 c237W
Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Labour how many Italians employed in the coalmines returned to their own country during 1949, 1950 and 1951; and what proportion of those employed this represents in each year.

Sir W. Monckton

The scheme for the recruitment of Italians for the coalmines did not commence until May, 1951. Since then 31 have returned to their own country. This represents about 1 per cent. of the total of 2,173 arrivals to date.
