HC Deb 20 November 1986 vol 105 cc290-1W
35. Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many tourists from the Indian subcontinent, arriving at Heathrow in the days before 15 October, were subsequently refused leave to enter.

Mr. Waddington

It is not possible to provide the information requested. The statistics collected centrally of passengers refused leave to enter within a given period do not record the date of arrival, nor do they distinguish tourists from other passengers. In addition, some passengers who arrived before 15 October and who have been temporarily admitted are still subject to further examination.
