§ Mr. WhitelawIt was decided on 8 February 1980 to deport Mr. Kamara for overstaying. His appeal against this decision was dismissed by an adjudicator on 7 July 1980 and leave to appeal to the immigration appeal tribunal was refused on 8 August 1980. Mr. Kamara still failed to leave the country and a deportation order was made against him on 2 March 1981. He was detained on 24 March but implementation of the order was delayed pending consideration of representations from the hon. Member and the hearing of a court case in which Mr. Kamara was the complainant. He was finally deported on 10 July.
