HC Deb 28 March 1963 vol 674 cc172-3W
52. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the total number of deportation orders which have now been considered under the Commonwealth Immigration Act, and the number which have been confirmed.

Mr. Woodhouse

Up to 20th March, 571 recommendations were received in respect of Commonwealth citizens and citizens of the Irish Republic. Forty-nine have been the subject of successful appeals and thus called for no further action; my right hon. Friend had considered 371, and made 198 deportation orders. Among the balance of 151 awaiting consideration were 26 cases in which appeals were pending.
