HC Deb 16 December 1953 vol 522 c51W
43. Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give details of the communication he sent to Mrs. Betty Chapman; and the reasons for refusing her readmittance to her home on the Gold Coast.

Mr. Lyttelton

Mrs. Chapman was informed by my Department that on 8th December the Governor in Council declared her a prohibited immigrant under Section 12 of the Gold Coast Immigration Ordinance, 1947, which does not require any reasons to be given for decisions under it.
