HC Deb 04 July 1979 vol 969 cc592-3W
Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many deportation orders were signed in each of the months January to June; and how many of those subject to the orders remain in the United Kingdom on 27 June.

Mr. Raison

The numbers of deportation orders signed in each of the months January to June 1979 were:

January 98
February 103
March 164
April 95
May 94
June—to 27 June 1979 122
676

It is not possible to say without disproportationate expense how many of those subject to the above orders were still in the United Kingdom on 27 June. From 1 January 1979 to 27 June 344 deportation orders were enforced but some of these orders were signed before 1 January.
