HC Deb 14 October 1969 vol 788 c69W
Mr. Fortescue

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to receive the report of the inquiry made by Sir Derek Hilton into the arrangements to be made to advise Commonwealth dependants overseas who wish to come to this country; whether the report will be published; and whether it will be made available to the voluntary bodies and others concerned.

Mr. Callaghan

I received Sir Derek Hilton's report during the Recess. I have today made copies available to hon. Members in the Library and the Vote Office, and I have sent copies to the voluntary bodies concerned. The Government accept in principle all the recommendations contained in Sir Derek's report; and I am most grateful to him for undertaking this inquiry.
