§ Mr. Allan Robertsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the fact that immigrants from Bangladesh can be known by two names in accord with their cultural traditions, if he will investigate any case where a resident of Great Britain is accused of being an illegal immigrant because he is known by two names.
§ Mr. RaisonAny case in which a person is suspected of having entered illegally is thoroughly investigated. For a person to be regarded as an illegal entrant he must either have entered without leave, or have obtained leave by certain forms of deception which have been held by the courts to vitiate the leave given. The fact that a person has used two names is not in itself a reason for treating him as an illegal entrant. Its significance depends on the facts of the case, for example on whether a false name was used in order to establish by deception a relationship with a person settled here and thereby to obtain admission as a dependant when there was no entitlement to it.
