HC Deb 26 March 1976 vol 908 c311W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make public the results of his inquiry into the case of a young woman from Colombia admitted as an au pair who entered the United Kingdom to take advantage of the facilities of the National Health Service; and if he will amend the immigration rules to ensure that similar circumstances do not recur.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

There is no cause here for amendment of the immigration rules. This young woman gained entry as an au pair and did not disclose the fact that she was pregnant. Short of physically examining every young woman entering this country, which would be unacceptable, it is not possible entirely to prevent evasion of this kind.
