§ Mr. VazTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many representations he has received concerning the refusal to grant asylum to Chinese refugees; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter LloydRepresentations have been received in respect of one Chinese national who was refused asylum 191W here but was granted exceptional leave to remain. We have also received some 20 representations about the decision not to consider the asylum applications from 33 Chinese nationals who came here from Panama. This group has failed to comply with their terms of temporary admission and their cases will be further considered when they are traced.
