§ 64. Mr. Shepherdasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give figures of immigration into this country for the period since the implementation of the 1962 Act, and figures for the corresponding period in 1961.
§ Mr. Fletcher-CookeIf, as I assume, my hon. Friend is thinking of immigration from Commonwealth countries, I would refer him to the answer my right hon. Friend gave on 24th January to my hon.216W Friend the Member for Louth (Sir C. Osborne). As my right hon. Friend then explained, the figures available for periods before and after 1st July, 1962, are not comparable, but it is estimated that in the second half of 1961 there was a net inward movement of nearly 84,000 immigrants from the Commonwealth countries listed in the latter part of that answer.
