HC Deb 25 July 1974 vol 877 c527W
20. Mr. Lane

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications by Chilean refugees for admission to the United Kingdom were granted (a) up to the end of February 1974, (b) between 1st March and 30th June 1974; and what estimate he has made of the number of applications likely to be granted for the rest of 1974.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

99 applications by refugees from Chile were granted up to the end of February 1974 and 246 between 1st March and 30th June 1974; 199 applications are currently under consideration; but, except in so far as this figure may provide an indication, I cannot say how many applications are likely to be granted for the rest of 1974.
