HC Deb 02 February 1978 vol 943 c273W
34. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions in the past three years the Home Office has itself appealed against the findings of an adjudicator on immigration cases; what percentage of these appeals confirmed the original adjudication; and what percentage overturned it.

Dr. Summerskill

During the three years from 1974 to 1976 the Immigration Appeal Tribunal heard and determined 150 Home Office appeals. Of these 102—or 68 per cent.—were allowed and 48—or 32 per cent.—were dismissed. Figures for 1977 are not yet available.
