HC Deb 12 November 1982 vol 31 cc280-1W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what recent representations he has received opposing the current White Paper on immigration; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

Since the White Paper was published we have received about 80 letters from Members of Parliament, most of whom were writing on behalf of constituents, and about 500 letters from members of the public opposing the White Paper proposals for revision of the immigration rules.
