Mr. Waddington

Information about persons seeking leave to enter the country as visitors who are refused leave to enter at United Kingdom ports and those whose removal is deferred pending representations, is not available in the form requested and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The numbers of citizens of Pakistan who were refused leave to enter and subsequently removed in August, September and October in 1984 and 1985 are as follows:

Month of removal 1984 1985
August 155 155
