HC Deb 29 April 1977 vol 930 c453W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what advance notice of the arrival by air from West Africa was given to the immigration authorities in connection with the citizen found last week to be suffering from lassa fever; and what precautions or arrangements for quarantine or treatment were made as a consequence.
