HC Deb 27 May 1982 vol 24 c370W
Mr. Ron Brown (Leith)

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why Abdul Kayyum Bhutt, a Pakistani politician, was refused political asylum on 24 May 1982 and ordered to leave the country before representations could be made on his behalf.

Mr. Raison

We considered that the United Kingdom was not the appropriate country of asylum for Mr. Bhutt and accordingly directed his removal to Malta on the next available flight.
