asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is prepared to grant permanent settlement to Mrs. S. Khullar and her British born child presently residing in Preston.

Mrs. Khullar has appealed to the Immigration Appeal Tribunal against the dismissal by an adjudicator of her appeal against the proposal to deport here. In the event of her further appeal being dismissed by the tribunal, my right hon. Friend will look at the case once again before finally deciding whether or not to sign a deportation order.
