Sir,— Department of Immigration, 28th May, 1929. Herewith I have the honour to submit the annual report on the immigration which has taken place into New Zealand from the United Kingdom during the year 1928-29. I have, &c., H. D.

REPORT. During the past twelve months the restricted-immigration policy has been continued, and from the statistics which follow it will be seen that the number of assisted migrants has been further reduced by nearly 50 per cent, as compared with the previous twelve months. The total number of arrivals in New Zealand from the United Kingdom and Ireland during the year ended 31st March, 1929, was 3,814 (1,938 males and 1,876 females). Out of the total number of persons arriving—namely, 3,814 —1,968 were assisted to New Zealand by the Imperial and New Zealand Governments. The number of assisted immigrants is made up of persons nominated from New Zealand and of persons themselves applying for assisted passages in London. During the year the following steamers brought out assisted immigrants : —
