HC Deb 07 March 1956 vol 549 cc207-8W
Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many West Indians are now resident in Scotland; and how many were admitted in 1955.

Major Lloyd-George

Some 800 persons born in the West Indies were enumerated in the 1951 Census as being usually resident in Scotland. For the reasons given in the Answer to the hon. Member for Accrington (Mr. H. Hynd) on 1st March there are no complete statistics of later arrivals, but I am not aware that any substantial parties have come to Scotland with the intention of remaining.
