HC Deb 06 June 1985 vol 80 c205W
9. Mr. Fatchett

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to prevent airline staff entering immigration control offices at airports to seek payment for return tickets from persons whose eligibility to enter the United Kingdom is in the process of being examined.

Mr. Waddington

My right hon. and learned Friend has done so. Airline and other carrying companies have been informed that they will not be given access, for the purpose of ticketing, to a passenger held in detention without that person's consent. This will apply before and after any decision to refuse entry.
