§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the decision to refuse entry to Miss Caroline Lee Mitchell, a citizen of the United States, following her arrival at Heathrow Airport on 6th June, 1968.
§ Mr. EnnalsMiss Mitchell was refused entry because she came for the specific purpose of seeking employment and had no work permit. Before setting out from the United States she had been informed by a British consular officer of the need for a permit. The immigration officer offered to admit her for a month, with a "no employment" condition, to enable her to visit relatives; but Miss Mitchell declined, on the ground that employment was her sole intention and that she had no desire to enter the country for any other purpose.
