On what dates applications for special quota vouchers had been made by those applicants in India who received them in September 1981 and by those notified that they will receive them in December 1981 and January 1982.
§ The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Lord Carrington)Applicants in India who received special vouchers in September 1981 had applied for them in early January 1976. No applicants have been called for interview in December 1981 because the full quota for the year was called in time to allow procedures to be completed before the year's end. Non-priority applicants called for interview in January 1982 applied in late January 1976 and priority applicants between January and March 1976.
