HC Deb 15 May 1930 vol 238 c2073W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Home Secretary the number of Soviet subjects holding Soviet passports who have been admitted to this country during the last six months and the number so admitted in the last month?

Mr. CLYNES

According to the quarterly returns, presented to Parliament, 1,299 "Russians" (which includes Soviet citizens with Soviet passports) were given leave to land in the last quarter of 1929. Similar figures for the first quarter of this year have not yet been published but are estimated at 1,642. I regret that I cannot give the figures for April.
