asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, pursuant to his statement made on 27th February, Official Report, columns 48 and 49, that he had a cutting from an Ashford newspaper reporting that the hon. Member for Ashford (Mr. Speed) had said that United Kingdom passport holders would be sent home, he will place in the Library a copy of the newspaper cutting concerned or state on which page of which newspaper on which date the account appeared.

The article to which I referred appeared in theAshford Advertiser for 20th January. I clarified in response to interventions in the debate what proposals the article attributed to the hon. Member for Ashford.
