HC Deb 02 March 1978 vol 945 c388W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will give for the latest yearly date the number of people arriving from and remaining in the United Kingdom from the West Indies, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and the African Commonwealth; how many left the United Kingdom; and if he will show similar figures at yearly intervals as far back as may be possible to record.

Mr. Deakins

The available figures are published in Tables 2.3 and 2.4 of "International Migration", 1974, in OPCS Monitors reference MN 76/2 and MN 77/2, and in Table 6, page 6, of Population Trends, No. 9, Autumn 1977. These Office of Population Censuses and Surveys publications are available in the Library and I am sending copies of the monitors and tables to my hon. Friend.
