HC Deb 08 December 1976 vol 922 cc214-5W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his policy regarding the deportation from the United Kingdom of persons domiciled in the Channel Islands, in view of the fact that it is the policy of the EEC to deny to member States the right to deport the nationals of other member States; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Summerskill

The provision of the Treaty of Rome relating to free movement of workers, to which I assume my hon. Friend refers, do not debar a member State from deporting a national of another member State, although they limit the grounds on which this may be done to public policy, public security or public health. If my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind, I shall be glad to write to him about it.
