HC Deb 06 May 1983 vol 42 c162W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what records are kept in his Department about the immediate destination of deportation of those refugees who have come to the United Kingdom seeking residence but whose applications are refused.

Mr. Waddington

Refusal of an application for asylum does not necessarily mean that the applicant is required to leave the United Kingdom as he may qualify to remain here under other provisions of the immigration rules. Details of persons deported are recorded by nationality and do not include the basis on which a person had unsuccessfully applied to remain in the United Kingdom. I regret therefore that the information requested is not available.
