§ 15. Mr. N. Pannellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many convictions there have been for being in possession of dangerous drugs since 1st July, 1962; how many of those convicted were Commonwealth immigrants; and how many such immigrants could not be recommended for deportation because they had been resident in the United Kingdom for five years or more.
§ Mr. BrookeThe number of convictions is 416. Of those convicted, 272 originated from other parts of the Commonwealth, and of these I estimate that nearly half had been resident in the United Kingdom for five years or more.
