§ Mrs. Haymanasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what number of immigrants were admitted from the New Commonwealth for settlement in the United Kingdom during 1975 in the following categories: (a) male fiancés, (b) dependants of male fiancés and (c) elderly parents.
§ Dr. SummerskillIn 1975, 657 male fiancés from New Commonwealth countries were given limited leave to enter the United Kingdom—male fiancés are not accepted for settlement on arrival—and 3,083 men from New Commonwealth countries were accepted for settlement on removal of time limit by reason of marriage. Information is not available as to how many of the 3,083 originally entered as fiancés, and how many of those accepted for settlement as dependants were dependants of men who originally entered as financés.
Nor is information separately available to show how many of the total number of people accepted for settlement as dependants were elderly parents.
