HC Deb 10 December 1980 vol 995 c384W
Mr. Hawksley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it remains his policy to set up a register of those Commonwealth wives and children entitled to enter for settlement under the Immigration Act 1971 and to introduce a quota system to control all entry for settlement; and, if so, when he hopes to implement this.

Mr. Raison

Both measures require legislation to be effective. The Government decided that changes in the immigration rules and the proposed changes in nationality law should take priority.
