HC Deb 14 December 1972 vol 848 cc188-9W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why Chief Petty Officer Lo Wai Yu, who has served 20 years in the Royal Navy and has a job to go to in Great Britain on retirement from the Royal Navy, has been refused permission to settle in this country; and whether he will review this case.

Mr. Lane

Chief Petty Officer Lo Wai Yu has not been refused permission to settle in this country. He has made an application for naturalisation which has not been granted. It will be open to him to apply for settlement when he completes his service with the Royal Navy. Any application he may then make will be most carefully and sympathetically considered.
