HC Deb 21 December 1979 vol 976 c430W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he takes to verify the authenticity of evidence submitted to him against suspected illegal immigrants.

Mr. Raison

An appeal against the giving of directions to remove a person as an illegal entrant may be made from overseas, when the facts of the case are subject to review by an independent adjudicator.
