HC Deb 14 December 1967 vol 756 cc604-5
12. Dr. Gray

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what special instructions have been given to immigration officers at Heathrow Airport in dealing with visitors from Tanzania and other countries with which the United Kingdom has no diplomatic relations.

Mr. Ennals

None, Sir.

Dr. Gray

Is my hon. Friend surprised to hear that a Tanzanian Minister complained to me of delay and discourtesy both to himself and other Tanzanians? Will he give an assurance that there is no discrimination against Tanzanians at Heathrow Airport?

Mr. Ennals

I am very disturbed to hear what my hon. Friend said. That complaint has not been brought to my attention, and I shall look into it with the greatest care. I assure my hon. Friend that there is no difference between the treatment of those who arrive from Tanzania or any other country that has broken off diplomatic relations and the citizens of any other country.
