HC Deb 10 June 1985 vol 80 cc302-3W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many representations he has received asking him to consider extending the periods of time for the receipt of representations on behalf of Tamils seeking refuge in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waddington

We have received representations from four organisations asking for an extension of the period allowed to Members to make representations on Tamil cases. In addition a number of hon. Members have requested additional time to make representations in individual cases and we have been able to agree in each case.
