§ 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. Merlyn Rees:My predecessor and I have made 106 exclusion orders under the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Acts 1974 and 1976. Notice 768W this information and make the same available.
§ Mr. John:I am unable to give this information, because it is not included in the information supplied to me quarterly by justices' clerks. It could not be obtained without considerable extra work being imposed on justices' clerks' offices, and I do not consider the extra expenditure and diversion of manpower resources involved would be justified by any benefits which would be derived from its collection.
