HC Deb 19 January 1984 vol 52 c285W
Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will discontinue the practice of requiring visitors to the United Kingdom from the Asian subcontinent to sign undertakings not to marry during their visits.

Mr. Waddington

Since the immigration rules make separate provision for admission of a fiancé there may be occasions when it is appropriate to ask a person seeking entry as a visitor to confirm in writing his statement that he has no plans for marriage during his visit. This does not happen frequently.
