HC Deb 14 March 1963 vol 673 cc190-1W
82. Sir W. Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why Commonwealth citizens are grouped at London Airport with aliens for immigration purposes; and whether he will take steps either to treat them as a separate group, or to group them with United Kingdom citizens, and thus enable stricter control of alien immigrants.

Mr. Woodhouse

Since the Commonwealth immigration control came into operation on 1st July last distinctively-marked interview desks have been available at London Airport for the use of Commonwealth citizens subject to control. At No. 3 Building they can now approach the control as a separate group, and similar arrangements will be made at No. 1 Building when structural alterations are complete in a few weeks' time.
