HC Deb 07 August 1975 vol 897 cc422-3W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons have been served with exclusion orders under the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act; how many have been deported to (a) Northern Ireland and (b) the Republic of Ireland; how many have appealed against exclusion orders; and how many appeals have been successful.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have made 63 exclusion orders. Notice of the making of an order has been served on 55 people, 50 of whom have been removed, 33 to Northern Ireland, and 17 to the Irish Republic. Sixteen of the 55 made representations objecting to the order. I revoked the orders in five of these 16 cases; two cases are outstanding.

In addition, the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey has made three exclusion orders and the people concerned were removed to Northern Ireland.
