§ Mr. Alexander Fletcherasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if there is any regulation in force which would prevent a visitor to the United Kingdom from playing football as an amateur.
§ Mr. Merlyn Rees:A person given leave to enter the United Kingdom for a visit may be prohibited under the Immigration Act 1971 from entering employment, paid or unpaid, or engaging in any business or profession. It would depend on the facts of each case whether playing football as an amateur constituted employment.
