HC Deb 09 December 1968 vol 775 c26W
Mr. Horner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity how many Commonwealth immigrants entered Great Britain in 1967 on A vouchers; and how many of these vouchers related to jobs in the West Midlands.

Mr. Fernyhough

2,388 Category A voucher holders entered Great Britain in 1967. The exact figure of the number related to jobs in the West Midlands is not available but it is estimated that about 10 per cent. of the arrivals came for work in either the East or West Midlands.
