Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether citizens of the Republic of Eire are treated more or less favourably than citizens of Australia, New Zealand and Canada, in matters of entry to the United Kingdom;

(2) whether citizens of the Republic of Eire are treated more or less favourably than British passport holders of Kenya origin in matters of entry to the United Kingdom.
