HC Deb 15 December 1969 vol 793 cc233-4W
Dame Joan Vickers

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Common- wealth Affairs whether he will give an assurance that no immigration into the Falkland Islands from either Argentina or the mainland of South America will be allowed other than that under the direct control of the Executive Council of the islands.

Mr. Luard

Immigration into the Falkland Islands is controlled by local legislation enacted by the Islands' Legislative Council. I am not aware of any difficulties in the working of the present law nor have I had any proposal to change it.
