HC Deb 21 March 1968 vol 761 cc134-5W
58. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that Mr. James Eagles, a New Zealander and a journalist, has been refused permission to continue working here because his father was born in New Zealand and his mother in Great Britain, whereas had both parents been born here Mr. Eagles would have been permitted to stay here indefinitely; and whether he will now review this case to enable Mr. Eagles to remain here working as a journalist.

Mr. Ennals

In July, 1967 Mr. Eagles applied for, and received, permission to stay in the United Kingdom until 30th June, 1968. That permission is still valid. It is open to Mr. Eagles to apply for a further extension of his stay in this country.
