HC Deb 17 June 1980 vol 986 cc474-5W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider employing bodies, other than the International Social Service of Great Britain, to administer schemes for voluntary repatriation in areas other than Brixton.

Mr. Raison

The scheme administered by the International Social Service of Great Britain already covers the whole of the country. We see no need for any changes in the present arrangements.

Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the reasons why, of the 4,198 people who have approached the International Social Service of Great Britain with a view to seeking assistance with voluntary repatriation, only 1,630 have eventually made formal applications for assistance.

Mr. Raison

None, so far.
