HC Deb 10 June 1931 vol 253 c1027W
Major GLYN

asked the Home Secretary the number of British subjects who had migrated to British Dominions who have been repatriated during the past 12 months, indicating from which Dominion they have returned and to what extent have they had assisted passages; how many have funds or work to go to; and how many are in receipt of relief?

Mr. THOMAS

I have been asked to reply to this question. The number of British migrants repatriated during 1930 was 2,634 from Canada, 218 from Australia and one from New Zealand. Of these, 1,651 in the case of Canada and 144 in the case of Australia had received assisted passages. Figures for the period subsequent to 31st December last are not yet available. I regret that I have no information regarding the last two parts of the question.
