HC Deb 17 November 1976 vol 919 c575W
Mr. Budgen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps were taken to prevent Mr. Piara Singh, about whom the Under-Secretary of State has already corresponded with the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West, from overstaying illegally.

Dr. Summerskill

The usual check in the record of departures was made as soon as Piara Singh's leave to enter had expired. Since it proved negative, the police at once were asked to make inquiries to trace him. These inquiries have been proceeding since then, and will continue as long as necessary.
