§ 101. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations to what extent other Commonwealth countries restrict and impose conditions upon immigration from the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. BottomleyI am afraid it is impossible to generalise. There are very great variations in the restrictions and conditions imposed by the other 20 member countries of the Commonwealth on people from this country who want to take up employment overseas. There are Commonwealth countries who are anxious to attract large numbers of immigrants from this country and others again where the shortage of jobs available locally for their own people may prompt them to adopt restrictive policies of varying degree.
