§ Mr. LYLEasked the Home Secretary the number of aliens who have entered this country to settle within the last six months; and whether, in view of the existing unemployment, he is still restricting such arrivals as much as possible?
§ Mr. SHORTTIt is not possible to give the figure asked for, but I believe it to be negligible. The Alien Passenger Returns published quarterly show that for the nine months ended last September the departures of aliens from this country exceeded the arrivals by 5,853.
