§ 71. Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Minister of Social Security in how many cases during the last two years the return fares to their country of origin of Commonwealth immigrants have been paid from public funds; and at what cost.
§ Mr. LoughlinFigures for Commonwealth immigrants alone are not available, but in 1966 and 1967, 147 persons, including aliens, were repatriated, at a charge to public funds of just under £17,000. In the same two years about £1,300 was recovered from repatriated persons.
