HC Deb 06 April 1978 vol 947 c166W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will seek to amend the law to prevent those persons who deliberately enter the country when their eventual deportation has previously been decided from receiving free legal aid to contest the deportation order.

Dr. Summerskill

Legal aid is not available to appellants under the Immigration Act against decisions to deport them. Advice, and assistance in presenting their appeals, may be sought without charge from the United Kingdom Immigrants' Advisory Service.
