§ Miss Richardsonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications for bail have been made to the Immigration Appeals Tribunal and quarter of 1978; and how many such the immigration adjudicators in each applications were successful.
§ Mr. JohnThe only readily available figures relate to bail applications made to adjudicators at the appeals centre at Harmondsworth. I regret that comprehensive figures could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The Harmondsworth figures are as follows:
1978 Number of applications for bail Number of cases in which bail granted 1st quarter 7 4 2nd quarter 5 3 3rd quarter 10 6 4th Quarter 6 4 Note: The number of applications heard is not necessarily equal to the number of persons applying for bail since one person may make more than one application.
