HC Deb 11 July 1983 vol 45 c276W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report the numbers of British citizens who have emigrated for (a) permanent settlement and (b) temporary settlement to the Republic of South Africa in each of the last five years.

Mr. John Patten

An annual time series showing the number of emigrants from the United Kingdom to the Republic of South Africa appears regularly in table 17 ofPopulation Trends. The figures relate to persons who leave with the declared intention of residing in South Africa for at least a year, having lived in the United Kingdon for at last a year, and do not distinguish between permament and temporary emigrants.
