HC Deb 29 April 1980 vol 983 c459W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why over 100 members, direct and indirect, of the family of King Khaled of Saudi Arabia, have been allowed to enter and settle in Great Britain.

Mr. Raison

I cannot confirm the hon. Member's figures. Heads of State and members of their family who form part of their household are entitled under section 20(3) of the State Immunity Act 1978 to the exemption from immigration control conferred by section 8(3) of the Immigra-Act 1971. Other applications are dealt with under the Immigration Rules.
