HC Deb 19 February 1930 vol 235 c1399W
Mr. C. WILSON

asked the Home Secretary the number of persons of Russian and Polish birth resident in the United Kingdom at the time that the Census was taken in 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911 and 1921; and how many in each period were naturalised British subjects?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I have been asked to reply. The available figures for the series of years in question will be found on pages 14 to 16 of the Statistical Abstract for the United Kingdom, published in 1929 (Cmd. 3253). Among the persons enumerated in England and Wales at the 1911 and 1921 Censuses as having been born in Russia, Poland and Finland, 9,082 and 17,443 persons respectively were described as being naturalised British subjects. The corresponding particulars for earlier Censuses are not, however, available.
