European Community Nationals

Mr. Arthur Lewis
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any person, whatever his race or country of origin, who now holds a designation of an EEC person is allowed to enter and remain in the United Kingdom under Common Market rules.

Dr. Summerskill
EEC nationals do not have an unqualified entitlement to enter or stay in this country. We provide for their entry and stay in accordance with our obligations under the Treaty of Rome.
