HC Deb 24 February 1958 vol 583 c17W
85. Mr. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases people were refused entry to this country last year because it was obvious to the immigration authorities that they came here in order to obtain free hospital treatment.

Mr. R. A. Butler

One alien was refused leave to land in 1957 on the primary ground that he was seeking free hospital treatment. Particulars are not available of cases where, although there was an intention to seek free medical treatment, the refusal of leave to land was based primarily upon some other ground.
