§ Mr. Sproatasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what circumstances Pakistani mothers or fathers who are illegal immigrants but who have children while illegally in this country are allowed to remain in the United Kingdom on the grounds that the children are entitled to be regarded as United Kingdom citizens and that therefore one or both parents may remain in the United Kingdom to look after the child or children.
