HC Deb 12 November 1964 vol 701 c99W
35. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Commonwealth immigrants arrived in this country during 1964 to the latest convenient date; what were the comparable figures for 1963; what action he proposes to take to increase or decrease these numbers; and if he will make a statement.

Sir F. Soskice

The net inflow of Commonwealth citizens during the first nine months of 1964 was 69,807, and the comparable figure for 1963 was 56,137. I have as yet no statement to make as to any change in the present arrangements.
