HC Deb 15 May 1980 vol 984 c645W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Arabian dockers have been admitted into Great Britain for the longest and most convenient period of time; and why such admissions have been allowed.

Mr. Raison

Foreigners are not admitted for employment here as dockers. Statistics are not available on how many foreigners admitted here are dockers in their home country.
