Mr. Lim Shee Ping

HC Deb 19 February 1963 vol 672 cc33-4W

80. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on whose authority Mr. Lim Shee Ping, travelling on a Malayan passport to Tanganyika, was removed from the aircraft and detained at Nairobi; and why this was done.

Mr. Fisher

Lim Shee Ping was not removed from the aircraft at Nairobi. After he had disembarked his passport was withdrawn at the request of the Malayan Government, and he was detained at the airport as a prohibited immigrant under the Kenya Immigration Ordinance.
