HC Deb 11 April 1983 vol 40 cc311-2W
Mr. Bendall

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications for asylum have been made by Polish seamen in the last month; when he expects to reach a decision; and whether, in doing so, he will take fully into account the political situation in Poland and the likely treatment of the seamen there should they be returned.

Mr. Waddington

No Polish seaman has applied for asylum in the United Kingdom during the last month.
