HC Deb 01 May 1984 vol 59 c125W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps the Government will take to ensure that none of the Libyan diplomats will be allowed back into the United Kingdom, either as diplomats or as citizens of Libya.

Mr. Waddington

Details of the individuals concerned will be notified to ports and to posts abroad. My right hon. and learned Friend will not hesitate to use to the full the powers contained in the Immigration Act 1971, to ensure their exclusion for so long as it is thought necessary in the national interest other than in exceptional circumstances.
