The Norwegian Council of Ministers is considering a Bill on the admission of foreigners, according to the Record of Migration published here.
The explanatory memorandum to the Bill points out that the existing regulations do not provide adequately for the effective supervision of the immigration of foreigners. At present there are practically no restrictions on the immigration of foreigners who may be considered undesirable competitors of the country’s own nationals, and the new Bill aims at giving the authorities the necessary powers to introduce regulations dealing with such immigration. The question whether a foreigner may be allowed to settle in the country may be referred to a central institution covering the whole country which it is proposed to set up for the supervision of the immigration of foreigners in general.
