§ 115. Mr. Bernie GrantTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what diferences there are in the regulations relating to admission to the United Kingdom for health treatment from the British dependencies in(a) the Caribbean and (b) Gibraltar and the Falklands; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RentonBritish citizens resident in any of the dependent territories are not subject to immigration control, whatever the purpose for which they wish to come to the United Kingdom. The admission of passengers requiring leave to enter is governed by the immigration rules, which provide for the admission of passengers from any country who wish to receive private medical treatment at their own expense. Separate arrangements also exist by which the medical authorities of a number of countries, including Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands, may refer patients for free treatment in the United Kingdom under the National Health Service.
