§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, under the Government's new policy of granting amnesty to all illegal immigrants who arrived before 1973, he will arrange to have investigations made into those who surrender in order to find out to what extent they had national insurance cards, how they were obtained, whether employment took place, if social security payments were claimed and paid; and whether he will publish these details at quarterly intervals.
§ Mr. DeakinsAlthough we are always anxious to improve and safeguard our procedures, we do not think that a special investigation on the lines suggested would be cost-effective.
