§ Mr. K. RobinsonI would ask the hon. Member to await the promised statement and White Paper on immigration. The individual to whom the hon. Member refers had been resident in the United Kingdom before he returned temporarily to Pakistan; he was, therefore, entitled to readmission to this country as a returning resident, and was not required to undergo a medical examination at the port of entry.
