§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for Transport how many Libyan nationals are currently training at (1) Heathrow airport and (2) the Oxford air training school, Kidlington, Oxford.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerMy right hon. Friend the Home Secretary is responsible for the admission of foreign nationals to this country and any controls on their activities while here. My responsibility is for the aviation security programme, which does not apply to airfields such as Kidlington. I cannot therefore supply details of the number of Libyan nationals being trained by the Oxford air training school; but there are currently 157 Libyan nationals undergoing training courses which involve them spending some time at Heathrow.
