HC Deb 17 May 1956 vol 552 c189W
51. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to state the number of aliens who have come to this country with the ostensible purpose of getting free treatment under the National Health Service in each of the years 1950 to 1955, inclusive.

Major Lloyd-George

Aliens are not normally allowed to enter the country for the sole purpose of obtaining free medical treatment. I regret that there are no statistics to show the numbers who have sought to do so or who have been granted or refused permission.
