HC Deb 03 July 1979 vol 969 c507W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his policy for approving applications for refugees from Chile and for refugees from the rest of Latin America; and how many applications from political prisoners in Chile, Argentina and Uraguay are pending decision.

Mr. Raison

The Latin American refugee programme is under review. For the present, applications for resettlement in the United Kingdom are being considered on their individual merits. I regret that statistics are not available in the form requested by the hon. Member.
