Miss Wright

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the average length of detention in Winson Green prison, Birmingham, of suspected illegal immigrants or overstayers before a decision is reached on the merits of their case.

Mr. Raison

I regret that the information requested is not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate expense.

Miss Wright

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many residents in the city of Birmingham have been detained or removed from the United Kingdom as illegal immigrants or overstayers in the last five years.

Mr. Raison

Information in this respect is not recorded by reference to locality.
