HC Deb 14 January 1994 vol 235 cc338-9W
Mr. Corbett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) how many cases of removal of exceptional leave to remain, in the last 12 months for which figures are available, were because of the cancellation of policies towards individual countries and how many arose from individual circumstances;

(2) how many people granted exceptional leave to remain have had such leave (a) revoked and (b) not renewed in the past 12 months for which figures are available, and one year and two years earlier.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Complete information on the number of persons with exceptional leave whose leave was revoked is not available, but the available indications are that the number is small. The available information for 1992 suggests that the number of persons refused an extension of exceptional leave does not exceed a figure of the order of 15.
