HC Deb 16 February 1982 vol 18 c79W
Mr. Soley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons detained under Immigration Act powers made timely applications for bail during 1981; and how many applications were granted.

Mr. Raison

Neither the Home Office nor the appellate authorities maintain a central record of applications for bail or of those cases in which bail is granted. The information requested could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
