Emigration from Scottish Ports.
Mr. DUNDAS WHITE asked the President
of the Board of Trade what has been
the number of emigrants sailing from
Scottish ports annually during each of the
eleven years 1901 to 1911, inclusive,
distinguishing as far as possible emigrants of
Scottish nationality and domicile from
emigrants of other nationalities passing
through Scotland; and whether he can
give any indication as to the number of
emigrants of Scottish nationality and
domicile sailing from other ports of the
United Kingdom during those years?
Mr. BUXTON: The figures given below
show the aggregate number of passengers
of Scottish nationality who left, and
arrived at, ports in Scotland, and other
ports in the United Kingdom, and of
passengers not of Scottish nationality who
left, and arrived at, ports in Scotland in
each of the years 1901 to 1911. Traffic
between ports in the United Kingdom and
ports on the Continent of Europe is not
included in these figures. The information
hitherto furnished to the Board of
Trade does not enable emigrants to be
distinguished from other passengers
outward, and no statement of the domicile of
passengers is available.
