HC Deb 22 March 1978 vol 946 cc573-4W
Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what instructions were in force governing the conduct of immigration officers, at the time of entry into the United Kingdom of Mr. David Duke of the Ku Klux Klan, regarding the admission of members of the Klan; and if he has made any changes in these instructions since in the light of Mr. Duke's behaviour;

(2) if he maintains a list of members of foreign racialist and Fascist organisations, including the Ku Klux Klan, to assist in the effective exclusion from the United Kingdom of such members; and if he is satisfied that any lists are revised frequently enough to take account of new membership of these organisations.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The reply that I gave to Questions by my hon. Friends the Members for Wolverhampton, North-East (Mrs. Short), Manchester, Blackley (Mr. Rose) and Birmingham, Handsworth (Mr. Lee) on 16th February indicated the instructions that were given about the admission of members of the Ku Klux Klan. Such instructions and names of individuals may be given about similar organisations. These are kept under regular review.
