asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Colonial immigrants have come to Great Britain in search of employment during 1946 and to the end of October, 1947; how far have those allowed to remain found work in skilled and unskilled occupations; and what, in the main, are these occupations.

No distinction is made in such matters between British subjects from the Colonies and other British subjects. I regret, therefore, that no statistics are kept which would enable me to answer the, Question.
