HC Deb 14 May 1964 vol 695 c101W
54. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will estimate the number of persons who have landed in the United Kingdom with forged work permits since the operation of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act; and what steps he is taking to prevent this.

Mr. Brooke

One forged voucher has been detected at the port of entry; the person who presented it was refused admission. Seventeen other persons have been refused admission because the voucher had been altered or had been issued to someone other than the person who presented it. Immigration officers are constantly on the alert for documents that have been forged or altered.
