§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in the light of the lack of substantial control upon the entry and settlement of Arabs into the United Kingdom, especially of those wealthy Arabs from the oil States, why these persons are given preference over persons from other countries who wish to enter on a temporary or permanent basis; and whether he will ensure that the immigration laws are universally applied irrespective of the persons' social standing or country of origin.
132W
§ Mr. JohnThere is no foundation for the suggestion that there is a lack of substantial control upon the entry and settlement of Arabs. The immigration rules are applied to them as to everyone else who is subject to immigration control.
