HC Deb 25 June 1979 vol 969 cc63-4W
Mr. John

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the recruitment of additional immigration officers for Heathrow airport announced by the previous Government is to be allowed to proceed; or whether it is to be limited; and, if so, by what numbers.

Mr. Raison

It was decided last year that the number of immigration officers at terminal 3, Heathrow airport, should be increased to 238. The number currently in post is 236. Additional immigration officers will be allocated to terminal 3 as soon as they become available.
