§ Mr. Whitakerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will place in the Library of the House, or make available to Members, the list of those individual persons to whom immigration officials are instructed to refuse entry to Great Britain, together with the reasons therefor; and whether he will define in detail the requirements of public interest which determine refusal of admission.
§ Mr. EnnalsThe answer to the first part of the Question is "No".
As regards the second part, it would not be practicable to define within the compass of this answer all the requirements of public interest which may determine the refusal of admission. Some presumptive grounds of refusal, however, are indicated in Article 4 of the Aliens Order, 1953 and Section 2(4) of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act. 1962 and others include the existence of a deportation order against the person seeking admission or, in the case of certain foreign nationals, the lack of a visa or the absence of return facilities to any other country in the event of admission here.
