§ 40. Sir C. Osborneasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the fact that in the month of October, 1967, 5,889 new immigrants arrived from India, 1,307 from Jamaica, and 4,565 from Pakistan, how many years he estimates it will take before there are more coloured than white people in Great Britain after allowing for those returning to their native lands and the birth rate in this country.
§ Mr. EnnalsAs the hon. Member well knows, the figures in the first part of the Question do not represent the rate of settlement here. They cover all arrivals for whatever purposes, including visitors, students and businessmen and take no account of departures. As to the second part of the Question, I have nothing to add to the reply my right hon. Friend gave to a Question by the hon. Member on 30th November.—[Vol. 755, c. 415.]
