HC Deb 24 June 1976 vol 913 c578W
22. Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what inquiries are made to ensure that immigrants to whom entry vouchers are issued have adequate means to support themselves and their entitled dependants.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

If the hon. Member has in mind the admission of United Kingdom passport holders under the special voucher scheme the answer is "None". A very small proportion of these families may be unable to provide for themselves on arrival but it would be undesirable and inconsistent with the object of the scheme to refuse them admission on that account.
