§ 78. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the hardship and public expense occasioned by the decision in regard to Eloise Carbajo, whether he will undertake an urgent review of the principles by which his Department is guided in considering requests by aliens to remain in the United Kingdom, with particular reference to cases where such aliens have children who are British subjects and are able and willing to support them.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerThe circumstances in which aliens apply for extension of their permitted period of stay vary widely. Each case is considered on its merits; and I do not think that a general review of policy is called for. I shall, however, be glad to consider any further representations my hon. Friend may care to make to me in regard to the special class of case to which he refers in the latter part of his Question. In the meantime the making of a deportation order in the case referred to is being deferred.
