HL Deb 17 December 1981 vol 426 cc389-90WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Following their answer on 10th December to a written question on Schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971, what further consideration they have given to increasing the powers of the courts to impose conditions similar to bail conditions, in releasing persons who would otherwise be held in custody pending consideration of a recommendation for deportation or implementation of a deportation notice; and whether they will introduce legislation enabling a person on whom a deportation notice is served formally to renounce his rights of appeal in order to accelerate the procedures.

Lord Belstead

I would refer the noble Lord to the replies I gave to his Questions on 16th December.
