HC Deb 10 May 1978 vol 949 c510W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what latest estimate he has made of the number of persons, holding passports of foreign countries, who are engaged in full-time employment in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Golding

It is not possible to answer the Question in the form requested. However, it is estimated that, in 1975, there were approximately 700,000 persons in full-time employment in the United Kingdom who were non-United Kingdom nationals.
