HC Deb 17 March 1976 vol 907 cc524-5W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) how many people born in England are currently resident in Scotland and registered as electors there;

(2) how many people born in Wales are currently resident in Scotland and registered as electors there;

(3) how many people born outside England to parents, one or both of whom were of English birth, are currently resident in Scotland and registered as electors there;

(4) how many people born outside Wales to parents, one or both of whom were of Welsh birth, are currently resident in Scotland and registered as electors there.

Mr. William Ross

I regret that the information is not available. At the census of 1971 there were resident at the place of enumeration in Scotland 250,395 persons of all ages who were born in England and 10,780 who were born in Wales; but it is not known how many of these were registered as electors.
