HC Deb 13 May 1985 vol 79 c10W
Mr. Ernie Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many deportation orders have been served during each of the last 10 years on the grounds of national security; and how many have been carried out in each of these years.

Mr. Waddington

Two orders were served and enforced in 1977 and six served and enforced in 1984 on these grounds.

Mr. Ernie Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many aliens with indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom have been deported during each of the last 10 years; and on what grounds.

Mr. Waddington

The information requested is not available. Such persons could only be deported under sections 3(5)(b), 3(5) (c) and 3(6) of the Immigration Act 1971. The total numbers of persons so deported in each year from 1973 to 1983 were published in table 20 of "Control of Immigration: Statistics, United Kingdom, 1983" (Cmnd. 9246); a large proportion of these would not have had indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom.
