HC Deb 24 January 1978 vol 942 cc497-8W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give, for the longest and most convenient stated period of time, the number of Kuwaitis, Libyans or citizens of the United Arab Emirates admitted or refused entry into Great Britain for medical treatment, free or on payment by their embassies; how many of these remained or returned and remained illegally; and what steps are taken to ensure that such visitors return to their homelands after such medical treatment.

Dr. Summerskill

Selective checks are made to ensure that persons have left at the end of their permitted stay. I regret that the rest of the information is not available.
