HC Deb 14 July 1966 vol 731 cc246-7W
92. Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration he has given to the recent criticisms of the National Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants on the way in which immigration restrictions are now being applied; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Recent criticisms which I have seen were made in the context of a submission to the Committee on Immigration Appeals and to the extent that they come within that Committee's terms of reference they will be dealt with in its report. I do not believe there is any foundation for the suggestion that restrictions are so applied as to discriminate between citizens from different Commonwealth countries, but if the National Committee has evidence to this effect I should be glad to consider it.
