HC Deb 13 May 1976 vol 911 c259W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in the national interest, he will issue a general direction to British Railways instructing them to exercise greater control over the issue of short-stay visitors' passports in order to prevent their being used by illegal immigrants.

Dr. Gilbert

No. I have no evidence to suggest that the British Railways Board is failing to observe the conditions laid down by the Home Office governing the issue of "No Passport" excursion cards.
