HC Deb 25 June 1957 vol 572 cc20-1W
Mr. Benn

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what grounds the Government of Aden have refused permission to Mr. Sheikhan Abdulla ElHilshi and Mr. El-Gifri to return to Aden.

Mr. Profumo,

pursuant to his reply [OFFICIAL REPORT, 30th May, 1957; Vol. 571 c. 51], supplied the following information:

I presume the hon. Member is referring to Shaikhan Abdullah al Flabshi and Saiyid Mohammed Ali al Jifri. Neither of these men is a British subject born in Aden Colony. They both left the Colony of their own accord, and subsequently the Governor, in his discretion under the Immigration Ordinance, prohibited their entry into the Colony.
