HC Deb 06 July 1984 vol 63 c305W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will describe the composition of the delegation referred to in his reply to the hon. Member for Billericay on 22 June, Official Report, column 300, which he met in April 1984; whether representations were made previously or subsequently concerning requests for improvements in assistance for repatriation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waddington

The delegation consisted of my hon. Friend the Member for Reigate (Mr. Gardiner), five representatives of Asian community organisations (all of whom were Sikhs) and a representative of an Afro-Caribbean body.

We have received no other recent representations about the arrangements for providing assistance to those who wish to return permanently overseas.
