§ 30. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the 1971 Census figures show that there were 39,000, 35,000 and 33,000 immigrants from the new Commonwealth countries in Brent, Haringey and Ealing, respectively, and 40,000, 21,000 and 30,000 from other countries and, as there were only 1,000 and 2,000, respectively, in York, if he will take steps to provide subsidies to get some of these immigrants to go to York.
§ Mr. JohnWe are aware that there are more New Commonwealth immigrants in some places than in others; but we do not believe that it would be right or practicable to pay special subsidies to these sections of our community to persuade them to settle in any particular place.
