Mr. R. C. Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what revised instructions he has given to immigration officers as a result of the ruling of the European Court in R. v. Stanislaus Pieck, 1980; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RaisonNo such instructions have yet been issued to the Immigration Service, but we are considering the implications of the judgment and we have been in touch with the European Commission. Chief officers of police have been informed of the judgment's implications in so far as they have a bearing on offences under the Immigration Act 1971.
