HC Deb 21 January 1980 vol 977 c10W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to make a decision as to whether Vietnamese refugees allowed to settle in the United Kingdom will be permitted subsequently to bring in dependants.

Mr. Raison

Such cases are decided on their merits. The only special factor as regards Vietnamese refugees is that their dependants are likely themselves to be refugees who can be considered within the quota for admission to the United Kingdom which has been announced.
