Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what date Mr. Stancu Papasoiu entered the United Kingdom; and on what dates he received representations concerning his status and from whom.

Mr. Waddington

In view of the circumstances of Mr. Papasoiu's illegal entry it is not possible to provide the exact date of arrival but it is thought to be three or four days before he reported to the Metropolitan Police on 19 April 1982.

Written representations concerning Mr. Papasoiu prior to his removal were received from the British Romanian Society dated 5 November 1982; Mr. S. Ionescu dated 11 November 1982; the hon.
