HC Deb 20 December 1974 vol 883 c681W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what sums have been paid by Her Majesty's Govenment to the United Kingdom Immigration Advisory Service; and what other bodies contribute to its upkeep.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

Since its inception in 1970 the UKIAS has received the following grants in aid from the Home Office under Section 23 of the Immigration Act 1971:

£
1970–71 51,610
1971–72 75,000
1972–73 85,000
1973–74 104,500

The service also receives some income by way of private donations, including assistance in its welfare work from the British Council of Churches.

Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of deportees exercising their right of appeal against the country of destination named in the deportation order have made use of the United Kingdom Immigration Advisory Service in each of the last two years; what proportion has been unrepresented legally; and what proportion has made use of privately obtained legal representation.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

I regret that this information could not be obtained without disproportionate cost.
