HC Deb 14 December 1977 vol 941 cc246-7W
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. Merlyn Rees

My predecessor and I have made 110 exclusion orders under the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Acts 1974 and 1976. Notice of the making of an exclusion order has been served on 102 people, 95 of whom have been removed, 71 to Northern Ireland and 24 to the Irish Republic. 20 of the 102 made representations objecting to the order. My predecessor revoked the order in five of these cases and I in one of them.
