Paragraph 24 of \u201cCommonwealth Citizens: Control after Entry: Immigration Rules<\/a>\u201d (Cmd. 4295) reads:<\/p>\n

In any discussion on racial prejudice in Britain the question of miscegenation<\/a> is bound to arise. Even in colonial times the British showed a marked aversion to mixed marriages.
