Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many passengers seeking admission as visitors were required to submit to further examination by nationality and outcome of the case at terminal 3 Heathrow during the latest three-month period.

Mr. Waddington

The information is not readily available in the form requested. In the period 1 October to 31 December 1985 the total number of passengers who were(a) required to submit to further examination and (b) subsequently refused entry at terminal 3 Heathrow was as follows:

(a) (b)
Further examination Refused
October 1,462 996
November 1,203 706

At terminal 3 in 1985 some 75 per cent. of all passengers required to submit to further examination and 68 per cent. of all passengers refused entry initially sought entry as visitors.
