§ Mr. MacCollInformation about the numbers of Commonwealth immigrants in the conurbations and density of occupation in dwellings was provided by the 1961 Census. Up-to-date information from the 1966 Sample Census is expected later this year. My right hon.

His concern will be to provide the means for improving living conditions in these areas irrespective of the origins of the residents.
