HC Deb 14 February 1972 vol 831 c49W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will seek to preserve the existing prospective rights of Pakistani residents in the United Kingdom to enter European Economic Community countries after British membership in his forthcoming Bill to amend the British Nationality Act.

Mr. Maudling

The future rights and privileges of citizens of Pakistan who have settled here are being considered, following Pakistan's announced decision to withdraw from the Commonwealth. I shall bear in mind the hon. Member's point.
