§ Mr. Greyasked the Minister of Health what is the extent of the movement of 90W population from the northern region to other parts of the country or abroad and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithThis is estimated as approximately 22,000 (not) in the five years from mid-1954 to mid-1959. This represents less than 1 per cent. of the population of the region (estimated at 3,222,000 in mid-1959). In view of the interval since the last Census (1951) on which these estimates are based, the figures need to be used with caution.
