HC Deb 19 December 1957 vol 580 cc91-2W
88. Mr. Foot

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state, the Colonial Territories and Protectorates in which judicial process is normally obligatory before a British subject or British protected person is deported from or rusticated within the Territory or Protectorate, and the Colonial Territories and Protectorates where there is no provision for such judicial process.

Mr. Profumo

According to my latest information, eleven Territories have no provision for prior judicial process in the case of either deportation or restriction of a British subject or British protected person: two Territories provide for such process in the case of restriction but not deportation, and a further four in the case of deportation but not restriction.

89. Mr. Foot

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies which Colonial and Protectorate Governments have since October, 1952, provided by legislation that judicial process should normally be obligatory before a British subject or British protected person is deported from or rusticated within the Territory or Protectorate.

Mr. Profumo

Since October, 1952, legislation of this kind has been passed by St. Lucia in respect of deportation and restriction, and by Uganda in respect of restriction only.
