HC Deb 11 July 1986 vol 101 cc284-5W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been refused entry to the United Kingdom in each month over the past year; if he will provide information about the sex and country of origin of each such person; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waddington

The available information relates to passengers removed from the United Kingdom after having been refused leave to enter. The table gives the figures by nationality for the latest available 12 months. Information on the sex of these passengers could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
