§ Mr. Roger Whiteasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many British subjects emigrated from the United Kingdom to India, Pakistan, East Africa, Nigeria and Ghana, respectively, in the years 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1970.
§ Sir K. JosephThe only relevant figures are derived from the International Passenger Survey, in which, however, the sample is too small to make possible reliable estimates for each of the individual countries specified.
The following tables gives figures for country groups, as published by the Registrar General:
