HC Deb 22 December 1965 vol 722 cc467-8W
Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he will reconsider his refusal to admit Ghulam Shabir, a 16-year-old Pakistani, to this country; and on what grounds he is prepared to do so.

Mr. George Thomas

If Ghulam Shabir wishes to reopen the matter, he should apply to the British High Commission in Lahore for an entry certificate, putting forward any compassionate considerations such as would justify exceptional treat- ment; and my right hon. and learned Friend must be satisfied as to the arrangements for his care and maintenance here.
