§ 52. Mr. Parkerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the total number of immigrants to this country, for each of the years from 1950 to 1955, giving the principal countries of origin.
§ Major Lloyd-GeorgeAliens are not usually admitted to this country as immigrants in the first instance and it is only after they have been here some years that they cease to be regarded as temporary entrants and become accepted as residents. It is estimated that during the period 1950–55 aliens were admitted to resident status at an average annual rate of over 8,000. Their principal countries of origin were Germany and Italy. No information is available about the number of persons other than aliens who enter the United Kingdom for permanent residence.
