HC Deb 25 January 1973 vol 849 cc207-8W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what were the approximate numbers of personal callers per day at the aliens office recently situated in Holborn; and if he will make a statement concerning its removal to Croydon.

Mr. Lane

The Immigration and Nationality Department moved to Croydon during November as the premises at Holborn had become quite inadequate for the work that needs to be done. During the six months preceding the move the daily average of callers was 967. The new offices at Croydon provide much better facilities for personal callers and are within easy reach of East and West Croydon stations, which have a frequent train service from Victoria.
