§ Mr. Tileyasked the Minister of Labour what changes he now proposes to make in the arrangements for dealing with applications for vouchers under the Commonwealth Immigrants Act.
§ Mr. GodberThe very large number of applications in category C from India and Pakistan has produced a very long waiting list. It has therefore been decided that for the time being no further Indian or Pakistan non-priority applications will be accepted. Applications in category C will however continue to be accepted from persons who are entitled to priority because of previous service in Her Majesty's Forces. This decision does not affect Indian or Pakistan applicants already on the waiting list, who will continue to receive vouchers as and when their turn comes. It does not affect applicants from other Commonwealth countries for whom the waiting lists are not so long.
