Next, as to the system of immigration control itself.
The previous administration were, as you know forced by the
pressure of events to interfere with the hitherto unrestricted
right of British subjects, whether from independent Commonwealth
territories or dependant ones, to enter the United Kingdom, and
the Commonwealth Immigrants Act was accordingly passed. Since
the present Government came into power it has been obliged to
restrict still further the numbers of people allowed to come to
work and settle.
The main feature of the control is that a person who wishes
to come and work here must have a Ministry of Labour voucher
before setting out, and the pressure of demand for vouchers has
meant that there is a long waiting list, and consequently people
whose applications are successful have to wait a long time before
their turn for a voucher comes round. A person who has obtained
아 a voucher may bring his wife and his children up to the age of
eighteen, and possibly somewhat older if they are still
dependant, with him. But this does not mean that all other
classes of people are barred from entry: for example, people
whose fathers were born here are exempt from the control, people
who are elderly and whose children can look after them, and
people who have enough money to satisfy us that we can regard
them as of independent means, are freely admitted.
Mr. Jackson-Lipkin suggests in his letter of 13th November
that citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies from
territories which are still dependant should be treated
differently from citizens of independent Commonwealth countries.
This is of course one of the possibilities we shall bear in mind
whenever we are considering further legislation on this subject;.
though I must say that the evidence we have does not suggest that
the restrictions on entry are bearing more harshly on people from dependent territories than on those from independent ones.
