HC Deb 13 December 1971 vol 828 c34W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider introducing a procedure whereby entry passports or documents of legal coloured immigrants could be specially marked with, for example, monthly changes, in order to combat the numbers of illegal immigrants who are entering the country.

Mr. Sharples

My right hon. Friend would not favour an amendment of the law to impose upon Commonwealth citizens a requirement of this kind.
