Ms. Short : On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The Minister referred to me personally but did not give way. Is that not against all the conventions of the House?
Mr. Speaker : It is up to the Minister whether he gives way or not.
Mr. Renton : The right hon. Member for Sparkbrook said, with one of those big gestures that he tends to make in debates, that the primary purpose test keeps out 12 people for every one that it lets in. Mr. Hattersley indicated dissent.
Mr. Renton : That is exactly what the right hon. Gentleman said. I took a note as he was speaking, and it will appear in Hansard tomorrow.
Mr. Hattersley : Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Mr. Renton : I will not give way. That means that, using last year's statistics, the right hon. Gentleman would be suggesting that about 90,000 spouses and fiance s came in one year from the Indian sub-continent alone. It is just that sort of reality that the Opposition could not fulfil. In government they would run away from the policies that they proclaim in opposition.
Mr. Derek Foster (Bishop Auckland) rose in his place and claimed to move, That the Question be now put.
