§ Mr. Freemanasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for the last year of reported statistics, what number of visitors from the Asian sub-continent were admitted as temporary visitors, married British citizens during their temporary stay, and were then allowed to remain in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. WaddingtonInformation is not available in the form requested. The available information is that about 340 husbands and 470 wives from the Indian sub-continent who had been admitted for a limited period other than as a husband or fiancé(e) were accepted for settlement in the United Kingdom in 1984; their admission may have been as visitors, students or in some other category given limited leave to enter; the figure for wives excludes those accepted for settlement on the removal of conditions applying to their husbands.
