§ Mr. McNamaraasked 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 JenkinsNotice of the making of an exclusion order has been served on 18 people. Of these, six have exercised their right to make representations objecting to the order. I have reconsidered the cases of four of these and decided not to revoke the exclusion orders I made. The four people concerned were accordingly removed to Northern Ireland. The remaining two cases are still under consideration. Twelve people did not exercise their right to make representations. Of them, five have been removed to Northern Ireland and six to the Irish Republic and one is still detained in Great Britain.
