HC Deb 07 February 1968 vol 758 c176W
154. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the estimated number of coloured immigrants that have settled in Scotland; and what steps he is taking to encourage those living in heavily concentrated areas in England to move to Scotland.

Mr. Ennals:

The latest estimate is that about 23,000 people resident in Scotland were born in new Commonwealth countries.

Immigrants, like other residents in this country, are free to live and work where they choose.
