§ Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what are the precise terms of the political restrictions placed on immigrants from the Republic of South Africa resident in the High Commission Territories; and how far these apply equally to opponents and to supporters of the Government of the Republic.
§ Mr. SandysNo political restrictions are placed on immigrants who satisfy the immigration laws. But these laws are waived in the case of political refugees, subject to the condition that they shall not participate actively in the politics of the territories or of any neighbouring territory. This condition applies without distinction to all persons who are admitted as refugees without complying with the normal immigration regulations.
