HC Deb 21 March 1974 vol 870 c136W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to introduce amending legislation to allow foreign husbands of British wives to settle in the United Kingdom in order to change the current situation of a foreign wife being allowed entry to Great Britain by virtue of her British husband, but not the reverse.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

There is no present intention to introduce legislation, but I am examining the problem.
