§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people seeking entry into the UK at ports of entry were refused and immediately removed in 2000. [13927]
§ Angela Eagle38,275 persons seeking entry into the United Kingdom at ports of entry were refused leave to enter and subsequently removed in 2000. Information about the interval between arrival and eventual removal is not collected centrally, and could only be established by reference to individual records. It is therefore not possible to say how many were removed immediately.
