asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has had from the Chairman of the Community Relations Commission concerning the changes in the immigration regulations in regard to male spouses; and what reply he has sent.

The former Chairman of the Commission wrote to me recently expressing strong opposition to the new Immigration Rules. I have replied indicating that there seems to have been some misapprehension on his part as to the intention and effect of the rules.
