HL Deb 08 November 1979 vol 402 c1088WA
Lord AVEBURY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many cases of applications from persons in Latin America for letters of consent to come to the United Kingdom as refugees were pending when the Secretary of State for the Home Department made his announcement of 29th October, and whether they will continue to process those applications as if the previous policy was still in force.

Lord BELSTEAD

The 125 outstanding applications will be dealt with under the policy in force prior to my right honourable friend's announcement.
