HC Deb 19 January 1984 vol 52 c284W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to allow the husbands of aliens who have permanent residence rights in the United Kingdom to join them on a permanent basis.

Mr. Waddington

No. Under the rules approved by Parliament, only women who are British citizens may be joined here on a permanent basis by their husbands.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the case of Mr. Carlos Orozco, and allow him to have permanent residence in the United Kingdom, in view of the fact that his wife and children are already permanently resident.

Mr. Waddington

I have already considered all aspects of Mr. Orozco's case. He has no claim to remain here under the immigration rules and there are no sufficient grounds to justify allowing him to remain exceptionally outside the rules.
