§ Mr. Maddenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the text of the letter which was given to the 21 Libyan students who were arrested and detained on 22 April prior to deportation.
§ Mr. WaddingtonFollowing is the text of the notice of intention to deport
The Secretary of State has reason to believe that you have been actively involved in Libyan student revolutionary activities in the United Kingdom and has accordingly decided that your departure from the United Kingdom would be conducive to the public good for reasons of national security. He has therefore decided to make a deportation order against you by virtue of Section 3(5)(b) of the Immigration Act 1971 requiring you to leave the United Kingdom and prohibiting you from returning while the order remains in force.By virtue of Section 15(3) of the Act, you are not entitled to appeal against the decision to make the deportation order but, if you wish, you may make representations to an independent advisory panel. You will be allowed to appear before the panel if you wish to do so but may not be represented. To such an extent as the advisers may sanction, you may be assisted by a friend and arrange for third parties to testify on your behalf. You should inform the officer who hands you this letter whether or not you wish to make representations to the panel of advisers.If the Secretary of State makes the deportation order, you will, by virtue of Section 17(1) of the Act, have a right of appeal against removal to the country specified in the removal directions on the grounds that you ought to be removed to a different country specified by you.
§ Mr. Maddenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the full text of the statement offered for signature to the 21 Libyan students served with notices of intention to deport on 22 April, acknowledging receipt of the notice and indicating that they did not intend to make representations to the panel of advisers.
