HC Deb 15 November 1989 vol 160 cc263-4W
Mr. Marlow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what are the reasons why the whereabouts of the Sri Lankans who stripped at Heathrow, and whether any of them have left the United Kingdom, are not known.

(2) when he anticipates that the remaining cases of the Sri Lankans who stripped at Heathrow will be resolved.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The cases will be resolved as soon as pressure of work in the refugee unit allows. We cannot guarantee that changes of address will have been notified to us promptly, but, unless there was some deception, embarkation from the United Kingdom would routinely be recorded.
