§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will publish as much detailed information as may be available giving the total number of applicants now awaiting clearance for immigration and the countries from which these immigrants are emigrating.
§ Mr. Raison[pursuant to his reply, 6 December 1979, c. 303]: Numbers of applicants awaiting entry clearance are readily available only for the Indian sub-continent. Information for each country of the Indian sub-continent was published on 17 December in tables V and VI of the Home Office statistical bulletin issue 12/79—"Control of Immigration Statistics—Third quarter 1979", a copy of which is in the Library of the House.
