HC Deb 11 July 1975 vol 895 c285W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now take steps to repeal the Immigration Act 1971.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

No. As we have already made clear, nationality legislation must precede any fundamental changes in the basis of our immigration control. The review of nationality law is making progress, but it is too soon to say when it will be concluded.
