HC Deb 17 March 1977 vol 928 c250W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now make a further statement on the detention of the two Indian monks Mr. Roy and Mr. Prasad seeking asylum in Great Britain.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I have kept the continued need for the detention of Mr. Roy and Mr. Prasad under close personal supervision, but I regret that I would not feel justified for the present in authorising their release or their admission to the United Kingdom.
