§ 50. Mr. Luceasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he proposes discussions with Commonwealth countries regarding a joint approach to the United Kingdom's immigration commitments.
§ Mr. LuardThe United Kingdom's two main immigration commitments are to United Kingdom passport holders—particularly in East Africa—and to dependants of persons already settled here. There is continuing consultation with the authorities of the countries concerned about the settlement of United Kingdom passport holders, which is proceeding in an orderly way under the special voucher scheme. So far as the dependants are concerned, there is no reason for discussion with other Governments. Occasional contacts take place with Commonwealth Governments on aspects of immigration policy that directly concern them.
