in places murid by the jullie viher than those within the control of the local authority; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison: During the last eight months 2,417 application forms have been sent to departments of the Brent borough council. In addition, the Brent community relations council and the Brent Indian association have received a total of 435 forms since August last year. The possibility of having stocks of forms available at various places used by the public has been considered, but it is thought more appropriate for the Home Office to supply forms in bulk to organisations which request and have a need for them. We regret that, because of a very considerable increase over the last few months in the demand for forms, in many instances it has not been possible to meet requests in full.

Immigration Statistics

Mr. Arthur Lewis asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give for the longest and most convenient stated period of time the numbers of immigrants permitted to land and remain in the United Kingdom, with a breakdown by country; and if he will provide similar details of British persons who have emigrated to the same stated countries.

Mr.

Raison: A detailed breakdown by citizenship—nationality of acceptances for settlement in this country, from 1973-1979, was published in tables 18(a) and 18(b) of “Control of Immigration Statistics 1979" (Cmnd. 7875). Summarised figures by broad country groupings for 1980 are available in Home Office statistical bulletin issue 4/1981.
