§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what estimate he has made of the number of persons of non-European birth who have immigrated to Great Britain in the last 10 years and have settled in the area covered by the survey submitted to him by the Notting Hill Housing Service.
§ Mr. MacCollThis information is not available. The survey covered a large part of the Golborne ward and smaller parts of the Pembridge, Norland and St. Charles wards. The table below shows estimates of the number of persons resident in each ward in 1966 who were born outside the British Isles, and in two groups of Commonwealth countries, and of the proportions these groups formed of the total population. Information about the number born in other non-European countries is not readily available.
The estimates are based on numbers enumerated in the 1966 10 per cent. Sample Census. They are subject to sampling error, and also to enumeration errors which cannot be estimated for small areas.
average length of time between payment and subsequent repayment.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe returns made by local authorities relate to the total payments of selective employment tax in respect of all employees and do not distinguish between the various services. Accordingly I am not in a position to make an estimate of the amount of tax paid by local education authorities in respect of employees engaged in the education service. The average length of time between the payment of tax and the subsequent repayment is about 3½ weeks.
