§ Mr. Churchillasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many United Kingdom citizens have emigrated 119W to the United States of America since 1964; what proportion were university graduates; and, of these, what percentage were in the fields of science, engineering, electronics, medicine and management, respectively.
§ Mr. MoyleIt is estimated from the International Passenger Survey (IPS) that between 1964 and 1975 about 175,000 United Kingdom citizens emigrated to the United States of America from the United Kingdom. Approximately one-quarter of these were employed in "professional and managerial" occupations. The IPS does not collect information in educational qualifications. In the IPS an emigrant is defined as a person who, having lived in the United Kingdom for a year or more, intends, on leaving, to live abroad for a year or more. Professional and managerial occupations are defined as administrators, managers, professional and technical workers and artists. Figures for 1976 are not yet available.
