HC Deb 31 January 1980 vol 977 c712W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why a Lebanese, Hussan Elias Boder, using a false passport in the name of Mohammed Soltani, was allowed to enter Great Britain and cause damage in the Mount Royal hotel; and what action is taken to control the entry and stay in the United Kingdom of Arabs in general, and potential terrorists in particular.

Mr. Raison

All passengers seeking entry to the United Kingdom are examined in the light of the information available; port staff give full weight to any available indication that a passenger may be a terrorist.
