§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if the written instructions which lay down the requirement for passenger consent before personal letters are read by immigration officials, referred to in his answer to the hon. Member for Leyton on 5 June, are confidential to the staff concerned; and whether there are any additional arrangements for passengers to be informed about their consent and complaint rights, other than by word of mouth from an immigration official.
§ Mr. WaddingtonThe general instructions to immigration officers, which contain the instructions referred to, are confidential. Reliance is placed on immigration officers to obtain a passenger's consent orally and no written notice is provided.
