HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c194W
18. Sir W. Smiles

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Gibraltarians are now in camps in Northern Ireland; how many wish to return to Gibraltar; and how many wish to find work in England.

Mr. Creech Jones

There are about 2,100 Gibraltarian evacuees in the camps in Northern Ireland. As far as I am aware, all of them hope to be repatriated eventually. Those who wish to leave the camps and take up work in England are at liberty to do so.
