Before the Act was passed, citizens of Commonwealth Of Nations countries (including India , Pakistan and many Caribbean Islands ) had extensive rights to Migrate To The UK . In response to a perceived heavy influx of immigrants, the Conservative Party government tightened the regulations, only permitting those with government-issued employment vouchers to settle. The law was amended by the Commonwealth Immigration Act 1968 , before being superseded by the Immigration Act 1971 . These Acts resulted in widespread opposition in Britain from a variety of political groups, but most notably the Conservative Monday Club , whose Member of Parliament members were very active and vocal in their opposition to immigration. |
