HC Deb 24 January 1985 vol 71 c480W
Mr. Alex Carlile

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, further to his answer of 14 January, Official Report, column 15, whether Mr. James Magis was removed specifically to France at his own request or on the direction of his Department; and what were the basic grounds for his decision that the exclusion of Mr. Magis would be conducive to the public good.

Mr. Brittan

Mr. Magis was returned to France, the country from which he had arrived, on 5 December 1984 under powers conferred by the Immigration Act 1971, having been refused leave to enter the United Kingdom on my personal direction that his exclusion would be conducive to the public good for reasons of national security.
