HC Deb 24 July 1969 vol 787 c2127
31. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will issue a deportation order on Professor Ralph Herman Abraham, a visiting American professor at Warwick University, in view of the fact that he was fined £150 by Coventry magistrates for offences under the Dangerous Drugs Act, entailing scooping out a library volume, filling it with cannabis resin and posting it to Western Germany.

Mr. Callaghan

When Mr. Abraham was convicted on 8th July, he told the court that he intended to return to the United States in about a month's time. He was not recommended for deportation by the court, and, if he honours his statement of intention I should not find it necessary to make a deportation order.
