HC Deb 07 May 1957 vol 569 c61W
Mrs. Butler

asked the Minister of Labour how many British nationals expelled from Egypt have registered for employment since their arrival in this country; and how many have now secured employment.

Mr. Iain Macleod:

2,072 British subjects from Egypt have registered for employment since their arrival in this country. Of these 766 have been found work by my Department. In addition a number have found their own employment, and some have emigrated. At 26th April, 560 men and women were still registered for employment.
