HC Deb 17 December 1973 vol 866 c265W
Miss Boothroyd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement concerning the two student visitors from Lahore who have been detained at London Airport since 10th December.

Mr. Lane

These two passengers were refused leave to enter because the immigration officer was not satisfied that only a visit was intended. I am not prepared to reverse the decision and I am writing to the hon. Member explaining why. The passengers are being returned to Paris.
