§ Mr. Ronald Bellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) into what category or categories in Command Paper No. 5603, Immigration Statistics 1973, those new Commonwealth persons fell who were double-counted on embarkation in 1973;
(2) whether the new Commonwealth persons who were double-counted on embarkation in 1973 fell wholly into one 226W category or into more than one of the categories in Command Paper No. 5603, Immigration Statistics 1973; and in either case what proportion of the category or categories they amounted to.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsOnly the figures for landings are counted in categories. Embarkation figures have never been counted in these groups. Since the error occurred in relation to the embarkation figures for Commonwealth citizens, it is not possible to provide the information requested.
