HC Deb 19 June 1980 vol 986 cc608-9W
Mr. J. Enoch Powell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimates he has made of the number of persons born (a) in EEC countries other than the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, (b) in other foreign countries and (c) in Commonwealth countries, who enter the United Kingdom on Republic of Ireland passports or obtain Republic of Ireland passports after entry ; and if he will monitor such numbers by appropriate sampling.

Mr. Raison

No such estimates are available : We have no plans to monitor such numbers, which could be done only at disproportionate expense.
