HC Deb 18 October 1966 vol 734 c33W
Mr. A. Royle

asked the Minister of Technology how many scientists and graduates; with technical degrees have emigrated from the United Kingdom in each of the calendar years 1963, 1964, 1965 and the first nine months of 1966.

Mr. Benn

About 3,000 qualified scientists and engineers from the United Kingdom went abroad in 1963; nearly 500 of these being graduates intent on research or further study. Complete figures are not available for years since 1963; those that are available indicate that there has been some increase in net emigration, particularly to the United States, since 1963.
