HC Deb 27 June 1979 vol 969 c181W
Mr. Tilley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were admitted to the United Kingdom in 1977 and 1978 for each of the various varieties of work-permit employment listed in paragraph 25 of the immigration rules for control on entry.

Mr. Raison

Numbers of work permit holders admitted to this country in each of the years 1973 to 1978 were published in table 7 of "Control of Immigration: Statistics 1978" (Cmnd. 7565). The numbers admitted in the categories of permit-free employment listed in paragraph 25 are not available; they are included in "Others given leave to enter for twelve months" in tables 1(a) and 1(b) of the same publication.
