Colonel VAUGHAN-MORGAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies the total number of emigrants who left the British Isles in 1922 as compared with the average of the five pre-War years?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

The total number of British emigrants in 1922 was 174,096. The total number of immigrants for the same period was 68,026. Precise figures of pre-War emigration are not available; hut it has been calculated that the average net emigration, 1909 to 1913, was about 230,000 a year.
