.3. The Home Office do not maintain records of arrivals in the
United Kingdom. It is, therefore, not possible to say precisely how many of the above have in fact arrived, though the vast majority undoubtedly have: most are in the care of and in close touch with British voluntary agencies helping to resettle them here.
