HC Deb 03 November 1980 vol 991 c421W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what records he keeps of offences committed by immigrants other than the usual criminal records; for what purpose; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

No register is kept of convictions of individuals who are subject to immigration control. The police are, however, asked to notify the Home Office of cases in which such individuals are convicted of offences which might be serious enough to affect a decision about the person's further stay in this country.
