HC Deb 21 July 1953 vol 46 cc187-8W
Mr. Soley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of those served with notice of decision to deport during 1982 were at the same time served with detention orders.

Mr. Waddington

One thousand six hundred and ten notices of intention to deport were served in 1982 and 58 detention orders.

Mr. Soley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what percentage of cases of people recommended for deportation the courts have directed release since section 64 of the Criminal Justice Act came into force (a) subject to residential and reporting conditions and (b) without such conditions.

Mr. Waddington

This information is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. I have, however, made arrangements for it to be recorded from 1 July.

Mr. Soley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what percentage of cases of people recommended for deportation during 1982 the courts directed release pending Home Office consideration of the recommendation.

Mr. Waddington

Thirty-six per cent.

Mr. Soley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were arrested as subjects of deportation orders during 1982; how many of those were subsequently granted temporary release; and how many of those then absconded.

Mr. Waddington

I regret that this information is not available.
