HC Deb 06 July 1978 vol 953 c238W
16. Mr. O'Halloran

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is satisfied with the workings of the Immigration Act 1971; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John

The Government believe that a new nationality law, on which they have published a Green Paper, would provide a more rational basis for immigration control. Meanwhile, the working of the present immigration law is kept under continuing review and changes in the immigration rules and in operational procedure are introduced as necessary.
