EXPLANATORY NOTES.

TABLE I.

This table gives the bulk movement inwards and outwards of alien passengers during 1925. The traffic both inwards and outwards shows a slight decrease as compared with the figures for 1924.

The admission of aliens to the United Kingdom is at present regulated by the Aliens Order, 1920, made under the provisions of the Aliens Restriction Acts, 1914 and 1919.

The Aliens Order provides that alien passengers coming from outside the United Kingdom shall not land except with the leave of an Immigration Officer nor elsewhere than at an approved port, but an alien passenger arriving at a port other than an approved port may in special circumstances be permitted to land by the Secretary of State. The following are scheduled as approved ports :

Lympne, Croydon and Cricklewood.

It will be seen that of the total of 381,703 alien passengers who entered the United Kingdom only a very few hundreds arrived elsewhere than at approved ports. The number of alien passengers recorded as having entered the United Kingdom exceeded the number recorded as having left by 821. The figures of arrival and departure do not, of course, mean that all the aliens who arrived or departed were different individuals. Many aliens, such as business visitors and persons domiciled in the United Kingdom, enter and leave the country at frequent intervals during a year, and each arrival or departure appears in the statistics. For the meaning of "transmigrants," who are not included in this and the three following tables, see Note to Table V.
