§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how, when his Department offers money for the return fares and other payments to persons wishing to return to their homes of origin, a check is kept to ensure that such recipients do not use these moneys and return again to the United Kingdom; whether these payments are in any way limited; or if a person from any country can live in the United Kingdom and after a time return to his country of origin at public expense.
§ Mr. RaisonUnder the scheme operated on behalf of this Department by International Social Service, assistance is limited to persons subject to immigration control who,432W having failed to settle in this country, wish to return to their country of origin but lack the means to do so. Assistance is provided in the form of tickets and a contribution towards baggage costs. Those who and thus assisted are not forbidden to seek to return to this country. If at some later stage they sought to do so, they would need to satisfy the immigration service that they were entitled to re-enter.
