§ Mr. Parryasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will receive a small deputation headed by the hon. Member for Liverpool, Riverside before he makes a decision on the proposed deportation of Mrs. Mabel Achuinihu;
(2) if he will list in the Official Report the organisations and individuals who have made representations to him opposing the proposed deportation of Mrs. Mabel Achuinihu; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. WaddingtonRepresentations on behalf of Mrs. Achinihu have been received from 11 hon. Members and one Member of the European Parliament. A number of individuals and organisations have also made representations, and a petition with 4,000–5,000 signatures has been presented to the immigration service office in Liverpool.
Arrangements are being made for Mrs. Achinihu to be re-interviewed by the immigration service in Liverpool. Her case will then be carefully reviewed in the light of what is learnt during that interview, and representations on her behalf from hon. Members and others.
I can assure the hon. Member that he will be given the opportunity of a meeting before any decision to remove Mrs. Achinihu is taken.
