HC Deb 10 June 1974 vol 874 cc472-3W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what effect the amnesty for illegal immigrants is having on the intake of other Commonwealth immigrants for permanent settlement.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

None.

Mr. Cyril Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what response he has made to the recent letter from the Rochdale and District Community Relations Council concerning the difficulties created for intending emigrants by the delays experienced at Dacca and Islamabad.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

The letter goes much wider than the hon. Member's Question. A reply will be sent when all the matters raised in it have been considered and I shall send the hon. Member a copy.
