§ Mr. WaddingtonPassengers who need to be further interviewed on arrival are not allotted a time of interview, but are dealt with as quickly as possible according to the circumstances. The periods of delay in various individual cases are not recorded centrally and could not be provided without disproportionate cost. Passengers granted temporary admission who are asked to report for further interview are normally seen at the time notified.
