Sir Patrick Wall

Mr. Waddington

The available information about the admission of female fiancées is published annually in "Control of Immigration: Statistics United Kingdom"—table 13 of the latest issue for 1983 (Cmnd. 9246)—and quarterly in a statistical bulletin—table 8 of the latest issue, 13/84. For those wives from the Indian subcontinent granted settlemen on removal of time limit since 1981, information about the year of entry to the United Kingdom of their husbands and whether they were born in the United Kingdom is published annually in a Home Office statistical bulletin "Immigration from the Indian Sub-Continent"—table 8 of the latest issue 12/84. The most recent change to the immigration rules relating to the admission of female fiancées was introduced with effect from 1 March 1980.
