2. Immigration Officers will carry out their duties without regard to the race, colour or religion of people seeking to enter the United Kingdom.
3. A person must, on arrival in the United Kingdom, produce on request by the Immigration Officer a valid national passport or other document satisfactorily establishing his identity and nationality.* Everyone arriving in the United Kingdom is liable to be examined and must furnish the Immigration Officer with such information as may be required for the purpose of deciding whether he requires leave to enter and, if so, whether and on what terms leave should be given.

Citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies who hold United Kingdom passports wherever issued, and satisfy the Immi- gration Officer that they have previously been admitted for settlement in the United Kingdom, should be freely readmitted.
