§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications he has received from Ghanaians in each year since 1981 for political asylum and in each year how many have been(a) granted asylum, (b) refused and (c) are still pending.
§ Mr. Peter LloydInformation on applications and decisions is given in the following table. An estimated 1,290 asylum applications by Ghanaian citizens were recorded as awaiting a decision on 30 September 1990: however, this figure is a maximum which overstates the position because of under-recording of decisions made earlier.
conforms with this requirement. For some time, following attacks against researchers and their families, it has been our practice not to reveal the names of individual licence holders.
