HC Deb 15 March 1967 vol 743 c121W
Mr. Winnick

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps have been taken to employ interpreters at immigration control posts for Commonwealth citizens.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

A number of Immigration Officers have a good knowledge of one or more languages spoken by non-English speaking Commonwealth citizens, and in addition specially-employed interpreters are stationed at the main air and sea ports.
