§ Mr. Rankinasked the President of the Board of Trade for what purpose he is asking British passengers on long-distance flights to fill up arrival and departure forms.
§ Mr. N. MacphersonThis matter is still under consideration. If an Order is made, a simple card would be introduced to be completed by British subjects travelling on the long air routes between the United Kingdom and countries outside Europe only. The cards would assist in our estimates of balance of payments credits and debits arising from the movement of tourists and migrants, provide information about emigrants from this country, in particular about the loss to this country through migration of skilled people, and about immigration into this country of people from other parts of the Commonwealth.
