Immigration Control Procedures: Report of a formal investigation by the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE).
This is the report of a formal investigation by the CRE into the administration of the United Kingdom's immigration procedures. The report is being published some twelve years after the Immigration Act 1971 came into force. That Act strengthened the powers of Government, hitherto
expressed in the 1962 and 1968 Immigration Acts, to end large-scale immigration. Following the 1971 Act, the freedom of Commonwealth Citizens to settle in the United Kingdom was narrowly confined.
The CRE believed that Immigration Control's emphasis on excluding the ineligible rather than giving prompt and sympathetic attention to the rights of the eligible had led to administrative practices which, in the CRE's view, had a particularly adverse effect on people from the New Commonwealth, Pakistan and other Third World countries.
