HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 c165W
Sir C. Mott-Radclyffe

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the number of immigration officers whom it will be necessary to send overseas to assist the staff of the British High Commissions to scrutinise applications by Commonwealth dependants for entry certificates into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

About 10 additional members of the Immigration Service are being seconded to British High Commission offices overseas to help with this work. They will fill posts as entry certificate officers. There will also be increases in the ancillary and supporting staff.
