HC Deb 28 June 1960 vol 625 c115W
78. Mr. Dodds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reasons were given by the United States of America authorities for deporting to the United Kingdom Mrs. Hazel Wolf, which were acceptable to Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. R. Allan

The right of a sovereign State to deport a foreign national is not subject to the consent of the foreign country concerned. The question of acceptance or otherwise by Her Majesty's Government of the reasons given by the United States Government for deporting Mrs. Wolf did not therefore arise.

The grounds for agreeing to her admission to the United Kingdom were that she is a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies.
