§ Mr. David Youngasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many male fiancés have come to the United Kingdom in each of the last 10 years; and how many have been returned because the marriage was not considered a legal marriage within terms of the immigration rules.
§ Mr. WaddingtonThe available information about male fiancés admitted to the United Kingdom was published in table 13 "Control of Immigration: Statistics United Kingdom, 1983" (Cmnd 9246). Information on the number of men deported from the United Kingdom on account of the circumstances of their marriage could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
