HC Deb 16 January 1989 vol 145 cc6-7W
Mr. Dunnachie

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he has any plans to locate a United Kingdom immigrants advisory service office on the east coast of Scotland;

(2) if he has any plans to improve the provision of advice centres for ethnic minorities with regard to immigration, short-term visas and related problems.

Mr. Renton

Under the Immigration Act 1971 the Home Office makes a grant-in-aid to the United Kingdom immigrants advisory service, which offers a nationwide service to persons who have rights of appeal under the Act. We have no plans to make funds available for any other advice centres or organisations involved in these areas of work. The location of UKIAS offices is a matter for that organisation.
