HC Deb 04 December 1972 vol 847 c327W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will specify the provisions in immigration legislation that reflect international requirements relating to the admittance for settlement of United Kingdom East African passport holders.

Mr. Lane

Our immigration laws do not embody a comprehensive statement of our obligations under international law but are so framed as to permit us to exercise control over entry in a manner compatible with these obligations.
