MR. TED ROWLANDS:
What if the person concerned was widowed?
PAGE.031/056
MR.
TIM RENTON:
Similar representations have been made about this.
Again, a widow does have to qualify in her own right under
the immigration rules unless the compassionate
circumstances of her case justify admitting her outside
the rules.
This is an area in which you may feel it appropriate
to make recommendations to us, but the position in those
cases is very clearly laid down in the rules.
MR. TED ROWLANDS:
Again, would you have a sort of reasonably open and
athetic mind if we made such recommendations?

MR. TIN RENTON:
I think that on the particular widows' point, other
than the war widows, we do have to measure up the facts of
each case and we have to compare the position of those
coming from one country with another but, you know,
certainly rule our our looking at it very carefully.
