§ 75. Sir D. Rentonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Commonwealth immigrants entered the United Kingdom with A, B and C 212W vouchers, respectively, in 1964, 1965 and in each month of 1966 for which figures are so far available.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsStatistics of the number of voucher holders admitted are given below. We do not know in which categories their applications for vouchers had been placed.
Following are the figures:
1964 … … 14,705 1965 … … 12,880 1966 … … January … … 483 February … … 440 March … … 484 April … … 519 May … … 519 June … … 399 July … … 473 August … … 485 September … … 483
§ 76. Sir D. Rentonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why there was a net increase in Commonwealth immigration of 3,890 men in September, 1966; to what extent this was due to the issue of employment vouchers; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsDuring September, the number of men subject to Part I of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act, 1962, who were admitted to the United Kingdom exceeded the number who left by 3,890. The net balance for so short a period is not a reliable indication of the number who have settled. The number of voucher holders admitted was 384.
