HC Deb 30 January 1986 vol 90 c582W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the immigration and nationality status of those Libyans working for Libyan airlines at British airports; what information he has as to the numbers of Libyans working at each airport; and what steps he has taken to satisfy himself that their presence does not constitute a threat to security.

Mr. Waddington

I will write to my hon. Friend.

Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any other Libyans who left Britain after the Libyan embassy siege (a) have since returned to the United Kingdom and (b) have applied to return but were refused leave to enter; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hurd

Apart from Mr. Ben Rabha, none of the Libyans who were in the Libyan People's Bureau on 17 April 1984 and left the United Kingdom on 27 April 1984 has applied to return.
