HC Deb 13 December 1979 vol 975 c713W
21. Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration he has given to the imposition of a quota on immigration from the Indian Sub-continent, as suggested by the Select Committee on Race Relations and Immigration.

Mr. Raison

To be fully effective a quota system would require legislation. The Government have decided to give priority to changes in the immigration rules.
