Figures for 1972 1976 include CPG passport holders with onward visas; Figures for 1977 1980 exclude CPG passport holders with onward visas. Estimates are calculated on the basis of 901 evaders who surfaced for identity cards, and 10% of evaders who would never surface. Estimates for Jul & Aug 1970 have been adjusted by C & S Dept. on 7-10-60. However, adjustment of Sept 1980 figure and estimated No. of evaders for Oct 1990 onwards are not available from C & S Dept, owing to the effect of new immigration policy.
