HL Deb 24 June 1997 vol 580 c159WA
Earl Russell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will exempt British subjects evacuated from Sierra Leone from the operation of the Habitual Residence Test.

Baroness Hollis of Heigham

We have no plans to exempt British citizens who have returned from Sierra Leone from the habitual residence test. However, we are committed to a wide ranging review of social security. The habitual residence test will form a part of this work.
