§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to provide easier methods for the fostering in the United Kingdom of children orphaned in the Romanian revolution.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThere is no provision in the immigration rules for children from overseas to come to the United Kingdom to be fostered. However, children adopted in Romania, or coming to the United Kingdom from Romania for adoption, may be admitted provided that careful inquiries into the circumstances of both the child and the prospective parents show that the proposed adoption is in the child's best interests. These inquiries are necessary to ensure that children adopted from overseas are protected in the same way as children adopted in the United Kingdom.
