§ Sir R. Glynasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many persons had been granted permits by the Government of the United States of America, in August, 1939, to migrate from the United Kingdom to settle in America; the number regulated by the United States Immigration Quota Acts; and how many of these persons did in fact leave this country for the United States?
§ Mr. ButlerI regret that the information desired is not available. Official statistics relating to the grant of immigration visas for the fiscal year ended 30th June are published annually by the Department of State, Washington. These, however, are presented on a yearly, not a monthly, basis. The most recent statement was dated 21st February, 1940, and related to the period ending 30th June, 1939.
