§ 44. Mr. Liptonasked the Secretary of of State for the Home Department why the wife of a Caribbean minister, details of whom have been forwarded to him, 319W was compelled to strip and undergo medical examination and X-ray at London airport when she arrived there a month ago on a temporary visit.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsMy hon. Friend appears to have been misinformed. The lady had applied for, and had been quickly granted, an entry certificate to enable her to settle permanently with her daughter in this country. Instructions to immigration officers are that Commonwealth citizens coming for settlement are normally to be referred to the port medical authorities. That was done in this case, and the medical examination included an X-ray for pulmonary tuberculosis.
