HC Deb 07 July 1976 vol 914 cc551-2W
Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions visitors to the United Kingdom have been refused entry on political or security grounds during the course of 1974, 1975 and 1976, respectively.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Nine people in 1974, eight in 1975 and two in the first quarter of this year were refused entry at a port as a consequence of directions issued by me or my predecessor that their exclusion would be conducive to the public good.
