§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give for the most convenient and longest period of time, details of immigration into this country from the Commonwealth countries, giving each country separately, and similar details for immigrants from Ireland and as much information as he has readily available on the numbers of immigrants coming into this country for any stated period from all countries.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsStatistics of Commonwealth immigration are put in the Library month by month and are published annually. Figures for 1962 (from 1st July) to 1965 appeared as Command Papers, 2379, 2658 and 2979, and the figures for 1966 are due to be published in a few weeks' time. Statistics of aliens entering the country from 1962 to 1965 are to be found in Command Papers 2008, 2340, 2649 and 2975, and the206W figures for 1966 are due to be published shortly. There is no immigration control between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, so corresponding statistics are not available for travel from Ireland.
