§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to prevent polygamous wives from joining Pakistani, African and West Indian males who have entered Great Britain under the work-voucher provisions of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act; how many such Muslim and tribal concubines entered Great Britain between 1st July, 1962, and 25th October, 1963; and how many children they brought with them.
§ Mr. BrookeUnder the terms of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act, the wives and children under 16 of voucher holders who have entered or are entering this country are themselves entitled to admission. I have no statistics relating to polygamous wives. I have no reason to suppose that many, if any, have come here.
