HC Deb 07 November 1975 vol 899 cc353-4W
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 at the latest date for which figures are available.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have made 66 exclusion orders. Notice of the making of an exclusion order has been served on 58 people, 53 of whom have been removed, 36 to Northern Ireland, and 17 to the Irish Republic. Sixteen of the 58 made representations objecting to the order. I revoked the order in five of these 16 cases.

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

The latest date for which statistics are available is 4th November.
