HC Deb 15 January 1985 vol 71 cc80-1W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what powers Her Majesty's Government have to control the movement of itinerants from European Economic Community countries into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Waddington

The admission of foreign nationals is controlled by the provisions of the Immigration Act 1971. The practices followed in the administration of the Act are set out in the "Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules" (HC 169) laid before Parliament on 9 February 1983, which recognise the right to admission under Community law of certain nationals of European Community countries.
