§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many exclusion orders have been withdrawn since August 1994; and under what powers and against whom those exclusion orders were imposed. [4618]
§ Mr. HowardForty-one exclusion orders have been revoked or allowed to lapse since 31 August 1994. Thirty-six orders remain in force. All these orders were made under the provisions of part II and schedule 2 of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989. It is not our practice to identify those excluded.
§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list(a) the names of the individuals who are currently subject to exclusion orders, (b) their nationality, (c) the parts of the United Kingdom from which they are excluded and (d) under what powers the person was excluded; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. HowardIt is not our practice to identify those excluded, but all those subject to exclusion orders under the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989 are believed to be citizens of this country or the 495W Irish Republic or both. Thirty-two people are currently excluded from Great Britain under the Act, and four from the United Kingdom. None is excluded from Northern Ireland alone. These orders were made under part II and schedule 2 of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989.
